Review & Description
Nearly twenty years of poetry writing is exhibited in the current collection of sports poems in “101 Sports Poems - The Poems.”
Though, unlike the Full Deluxe Sports Poetry Edition, or the Mini Deluxe Sports Poems Editions Volumes 1-9, only the basic original poem is presented here, this is nevertheless an extremely impressive presentation of sports poetry.
Baseball - Basketball - Bicycling - Bowling - Cheerleading - Coaching - Dance - Drill Team - Fishing - Football - Golf - Gymnast - Horse Riding - Hunting - Inspiration - Martial Arts - Running - Soccer - Sports Fan - Swimming - Tennis - Trainer - Volleyball - Wrestling - Yoga & more!
Many of the sports experiences expressed by these poems are the result of direct experiences by the author, Felipe Adan Lerma. Now older, or as Adan puts it, “a young senior,” Adan narrates considerable commentary in the deluxe editions how the poems came to be written.
For the casual, or initial reader, “The Poems” edition offers a straight-through reading enjoyment of all the various sports represented.
Some poetry is humorous, while others are seriously presented. After many decades of layman participatory sports, formally and informally, a wide gamut of feelings are found.
The list of sports poem topics includes, among many others, baseball, dance, horse riding, football, coaching, and volleyball.
Please read through the fully linked index for the complete list of sports topics and the titles within those topics.
A special section entitled “Singles” represents poems of which there is only one for that category. Major sports interests are included in this category, including basketball and gymnast.
***
Deluxe editions, full size and mine collections, each include Creative Poetry Writing Workbook sections, individual personalizing templates for each poem, plus ample commentary. Expanded Resource Links to sites of other interests are also included. “The Poems” edition also contains a substantial links section near the end.
Commentary on the sports poems in these editions posted on Yoga-Adan.com, is different from that detailed in the deluxe editions, but give a good view of the ideas expressed.
The five sports poems, are
“Baseball”
“Cross Country”
“Drill Team”
“Athletic Training”
“Yoga is a Sport”
***
Specialty deluxe editions, such as the Mini Sports Poetry Volumes 1-9, and the Full Deluxe “101 Sports Poems” edition, are written from the author’s added interests and certifications in yoga and fitness, to that of his studies in the Humanities and arts at the University of Houston.
The poems and commentary are, as Adan says, “Gently infused with yoga and fitness.”
What has been remarkable to him, is, “how much of what I wrote in the 90s in my poems, is so like what yoga and fitness is all about.”
The poems in the Full Inside Index for this edition, “The Poems,” are also fully represented in the Full Deluxe edition.
At the time of first publication, five of nine Mini Deluxe Sports Poetry volumes have been completed, and are also available on Amazon Kindle Books.
