Brilliant Orange






This is my first stab at being a football poet. I'll give you all the link, if and when it gets published on a footy poets forum. Feel free to add a positive comment or hurl verbal tomatos if you so wish, and continue to watch this space...

Brilliant Orange

Schizophrenic they may be

Two world cup final losses,

Leaving the nation all at sea

‘Total Voetbal’, switching positions with ease

Flowing passes, stubborn possession, the killer pass, all a breeze

Wilkes, Cruyff, Gullit to name but three

Stars for the future include Van Persie

The future is orange, the future is bright

The spirit of Rembrandt and Van Gogh is truly alight
