SONNET FOR ALEXIS SANCHEZ

This young but dark night,
I willingly want to write
about a fantastic football player
whose skills set my soul on fire.

It takes defenders several days
to make up for his pace.
When he makes deadly dribbles,
defenders look daft and feeble.

His goals are always gorgeous;
his celebrations often glorious.
He's an oasis in the desert.
His uniqueness, we can't avert.

His name is Alexis Sanchez
a name that leaves foes with envy.
