The Night Watchman

04/04/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



Standing at the crease

Way before I should

Holding the fort for those

Who should have come before



Facing the oncoming attack

Tired from the day in the field

My fresh legs ready to run

But not getting ahead of myself



Defence is the name of the game

Making sure I don’t fall cheaply

Just making it through to the close of play

Playing the team game



I can only dream of innings

Like Gillespie in Bangladesh

Knocking out a double century

Before a lack of partners ended it all



For now I stand my ground

Staring down my foes

Protecting my wicket

With all that I have
