Author: Mel Glenn
Title Of Poem: Garrett James
Page: 107
"I pick,
I roll,
I score
A goal.
I square,
I shoot
Im fouled
To boot
I block,
I shake,
I run
The break.
I fake,
I move,
Im in
The groove.
Word up,
'Nuff said,
No ball?
Im dead."

I chose this poem becuase, basketball is my favorite sport of all. As in the story said "No ball? Im dead." Thats my most favorite part of the story because basketball is like my life! Without it I'm incomplete. The steps that are described in the poem are like life itself, in life theres many steps that people take to achieve their goals.

Score,Goal,Block,Fouled,Shoot,Fake,Move, and Ball stand out to me.
