Baseball Game

Swing of the bat, contests Fielders’ gloves, ball in motion, Run, slide, throw - called safe! Innings are by turns, Dramatic or biding, boxscores Revealing who’s up. Catching foul ball strays, Or in bleachers just catch rays, Fans cheer, hoot and wave! Hear “Smack!” a hit! Vendors warble, “Peanuts and beer!” Star spangled banner. If you come early, Ask for heros’ autographs, Snap players’ faces. Distance ‘tween bases, Had to be divinely ordained, Perfecting the game! Whether the home team , Overcomes temporary calamity, Makes or breaks dreams! © Chaim Wilson

This is fun, Chaim and well-crafted. I especially like the wrap-up with the last stanza.
