Poetry Prompt: Patchwork

Go onto several sports websites and look at multiple articles on the same sport. Pick your favorite descriptions for the various articles and work them together into a 16 line or longer poem. Or you can find one article and take the the writing there, add line breaks, stanzas, details, maybe some metaphors to make a poem of your own. I gave an example of my own from Grantland.

Websites Suggestions:
The Mid Majority

Grantland (warning: some bad language)

"Barry Bond's Apology"
by Brian Phillips, edited by Matthew Miller

Rub this on your stomach, 

swallow this at seven o'clock.

I looked at myself 

as a science experiment.

I hit baseballs for a living, and decided

— legal or illegal, no limits — 

to get better at hitting baseballs.  My mission. 

Not defending myself here. Just obsessed,

like buying a castle in Germany back in '92

as a tax shelter, a lab there

worked with lightning, 

worked with electricity,

mostly by moonlight. 

My hunchback assistant, Karlheinz.

He'd dig up the corpses, 

recently hanged men to dissect,

use their body parts. So many bodies.

Through the night, sawing. 

Mountains silhouetted in the window. 

We abandoned only when villagers came

with torches. They threw unhittable pitches. 

'Steroids,' they called it. 'Unholy.'

 'Against God's plan.' I'd like to apologize.

My left arm belonged to a murderer,

now I can't control it. Don't come too close. 

I once killed a man for his eyeballs.

I'm so sorry.
