The Excitement Of Spring
The excitement starts and ends with the ball parks,
the rows of helmets,
and the smell of hotdogs nuzzling with the fresh cut grass.
The players long waited anxiousness
and the hours of bull pen sessions.
The spring training games in Florida that has all lead up to this.
The wooden bats clanking against the dug out walls,
and the bags of sun flower seeds awaiting opening day.
The excitement of spring starts and ends with baseball.
Personal Sound and Form Poem
ReplyDelete"ABC" by Robert Pinsky
Any body can live, few
Go heartbroken, irrelevant joy,
Knowledge, love. Many
Never overcome philosophy,
Quickest rejection.
Sweet time undisturbed,
Various worlds:
X = Your zenith.
Hermes--I love the imagery in your poem. "The smell of hotdogs nuzzling with the fresh cut grass" is a perfect description of baseball in the spring.
ReplyDeleteOedipus--You played around with Pinsky's poem by changing some words. Interesting way of going about this.
