Golf and Peace

In the middle of the grassy Temple green with my pretty wife a game of golf serene, an early morning weekend to spend in peace said she “what a waste”! I hid my disappointment with a bright smile, measured my response carefully for a while, asked “is there anything I can do to please” said she “romancing!” I was leading her at hole number sixteen, I knew why she was suddenly not so keen, if I won my weekend would not pass with ease, social distancing! I hit the next one straight in to the thick bush, and three after that in to a water rush, lost the golf morning to win the evening peace, said she “ what a game”! 1st placement Written 26/07/2020 Sponsor Brian Strand Strand any theme any form (13) poetry contest 1st Placement Your best Sapphic stanza contest William Kekaula

This is really, really cute, Krish! And full of wisdom too! Love it. And as a former caddy (from age 11 - 16), I can definitely relate! Thanks, Gershon
