Love's All I Need

Love’s All I Need! Winter snows melt away Awakens sleeping things Mother nature starts to play And I too with my swing Cause golf comes out in Spring! Amid ablooming flowers At Master’s, golf’s big scene Did golf for several hours Living out my dreams To play Augusta’s greens! Three stroke lead on seventeen Victory now was nigh When did my chip careen Into water ‘twas nearby Off a Monarch butterfly! Short putt to win the match All grew quiet, not a word But victory, it was snatched As startled when I heard Loud screeching from a bird! Golf’s such a cruel cruel game I've given up thereof At tennis taking aim Won’t need no blasted club And tennis least has love! © 2014 all rights reserved written May 10,2014 for A Spring Day in English Quintain Free Poetry Contest using words Spring, green, butterfly, bird and love

Andy, I just love humor and this was quite a witty take on spring. Enjoyed the way you worked all of the golf jargon into your quintain. The last line is a hoot! Congratulations! Best wishes, Carolyn

P.S. I think the contest sponsor is Francine Roberts. If that's correct, she's recuperating from a traffic accident. She's one of the "Birthday" gals I want to cheer up with my contest.

My, you are so witty! Laughed out loud when I got to the last line. Excellent English Quintain and perfect rhyme. (I'll take fishing any day. Just wish I could find a lover named "Rod.") Carolyn
