Arizona is my home, I’ve lived here all my life. I wake up every morning, with her beautiful sunrise. Arizona’s skies are as blue as the ocean, so beautiful filled with glee. They fill the day with happiness, It makes me feel so free. Arizona’s winter is as cold as ice, Her spring smells like fresh strawberries. Her summers are as hot as fire, Her fall is a pretty butterfly. I love Arizona’s great places, Tucson and the Sonoran. They are so beautiful. I will never forget them. I will never forget Arizona. I love my home. I love you Arizona.
As both teams fight it out, There is no doubt: The crowd has to say, Overtime is on the way.
Everyone under pressure, This game is now a treasure. Shot after shot, Not one of them caught.
Sidelines screaming, Coaches beaming, Whistle blows, Excitement grows.
It comes down to the last kick. Which side will the player pick? As he shoots it to the right, The goalie takes off in a flight.
Teams ready, And staying steady, Overtime starts, This game will go on the charts.
Knockout Poem!
The ball couldn’t make it in, The goalie is responsible for the win. The goalie was immediately dog piled, Not one person was acting mild.
Both teams will get a pin, No matter if they win. But the winner gets a prize, As a special surprise.
Both teams fought it out, There was no doubt. The goalie won the game, And got all the fame.
Overtime is nearing the end. No one is being a friend, Both teams giving their all, As the crowd is in awe. As both teams fight it out, There is no doubt, The crowd has to say, Penalty shoot out is on the way. Sidelines screaming, Coaches beaming, Whistle blows, Tension grows.

Students who either live in Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek or surrounding areas or who attend area schools can win $15 gift cards from Changing Hands Bookstore, thanks to a partnership between the bookseller and the SanTan Sun News. This ongoing, monthly promotion awards a $15 Changing Hands gift card to every youth whose article, story, poem, essay, editorial, book review, photo or illustration is chosen to be printed in the SanTan Sun Kids Opportunity section, while supplies last. The Kids Opportunity section is printed in the Youth Section of the first paper of the month, each month. The best news is that even though only one to three submissions are printed per month, all good submissions are held in a file to be printed in future issues. So if an entry doesn’t win this month, it could win next month -- or even the month after that. To enter, visit www.SanTanSun.com, click on Youth and then on Student Writer Permission Slip to download a submission-permission slip. Complete the form and have a parent sign it so the paper has permission to print the entry and the author or artist’s byline. Then, email the submission-permission slip and writing or artwork to Lynda@SanTanSun.com as a Word file, if writing, or JPEG, if art, or pasted into the email. Those who don’t have access to email, or prefer to send submissions on disk, may send a hard copy of the form with the entry in a Word file or JPEG on a CD via postal mail to Lynda Exley, Kids Op Page, SanTan Sun News, P.O. Box 23, Chandler, AZ 85244-0023. For more information on the Kids Op page, or to have SanTan Sun News Editor Lynda Exley speak at your school to rev students up about writing and publishing, email Lynda@SanTanSun.com.
