Eleven years old
blessed with grace
and eagles eyes
Movements sharp
a poetic justice
to the teasing he endured
at their age
One two three in his hands
red yellow blue in his hands
the colors of kindergarten
the colors of soul
One by one
out of his hands
Cracking smashing
into their little bodies
Laughter and tears combining
a royal symphony
fit
for the King of the Dodgeball Court

This one seems different. Who is Zach?
Zach is one of the children that is in the after-school program I work for. He is rambunctious, trouble, rude, and overall a horrible child until you watch him on the dodgeball court, where he plays fair and is nice to the younger kids even while kicking their asses.
This is amazing. I would love to see this published.
You are surprising!
