Baseball
Ball
Game Thoughts
Baseball isn't really my
game
But I will write just the
same
Curve Ball
Thrown by the wind from
the storm to my face
Slow Ball
Thrown from the hills to
my leg now a hard peddle push
Fast Ball
Thrown to my spirit as the
down hills send energy to my joy
First Base
Setting the plan of the
miles and the places
Second Base
Knowing all the pitches
are not as originally in the plan
Third Base
Teamwork and friends make
the hard times just perfect
Home Base
Planning and Knowing and
Doing....but not a race
Out field
Where the camera finds the
vistas up and out
In Field
Where the camera zooms the
hidden beauty down and under
Strike One...Hills (of Mississippi)
Strike Two...Rain (from the Gulf)
Strike Three....First ride of the year
( still snow in my yard)
NOT OUT (not at all)
Home Run
Bike Trip Done
What fun
...a winner of a ride in a beautiful place and joy on my face!

DeleteBack to my home field and home team but...yes I had a great time. Learned more then I wanted to know about spring and asthma and hills but something good to know. 215 miles for the first time my bike was down was probably a stretch in warm up field but...the ride was a home run to the max.
ReplyDeletewow...sounds like some ride...
DeleteGlad you had a nice trip, Rae Ann. I like how you used the game of baseball metaphorically in your poem. Glad you did not 'strike out.' Smiles. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI am glad all went well and you had a great time! I enjoyed your poem and how you used it. "Knowing all the pitches are not as originally in the plan" - this can be both worrying and exciting. Usually this is what provides the best memories, later.
ReplyDeleteAhh... wonderful analogy and I'm not surprised.
ReplyDeletegreat take...
ReplyDeleteI can identify with this poem, not knowing anything baseball, myself!
