Tuesday 4/21/20: Read and reading activity TPCASTT: Before, during, and after reading, use our TPCASTT strategy to dissect the poem.
If I had a trophy
I’d put it on the middle shelf
of my bookcase. I’d dust
it every day
and polish it once a week.
It would have a statue of a woman
holding a bat, her golden arm
cocked up1 a little
waiting for the pitch.
When my friends came over
I’d stand next to the bookcase casual-like
till they said, “Is that a trophy?”
I’d read the inscription2 every morning.
I’d ask someone to take my picture
with my trophy.
My trophy would say
“Softball Player” on the bottom,
and everyone would know
that in summer I tie on my cleats
run onto the field,
slapping high fives.
They’d know I take third base,
put my glove to the dry dirt,
scatter dust in the air.
They’d hear the fans shout,
“Hey, some catch!”
when the white ball comes slamming
into my glove,
and, “Watch out, she’ll steal home,”
as my cleats dig and dig.
They’d feel the weight of the little statue
And think, “I bet she’s going out
With her team tonight,”
“I bet she could teach me how to throw,”
“I bet she plays softball,”
and I do,
I do,
