Not Out

A hard stare,

A threatening look,

Bouncers galore

I try to hook

Ball whizzes in

Oh boy! tis fast

Takes a faint edge

But manages to go past

the diving fielder,

n Crosses the rope

although tis a fluke

still gives me some hope

Next one comes in

& hits the pad

All of em shout

But the one who matters

Says “not out”

Nasty fielders have a field day

Bruised n hurt,  let my bat say

Less light, game called off

What matters most

I am still not out!!
