Ann Peck Poet Footle

Golf Footle

The grass
alas
is shorn
like corn
the dew
eschews
forlorn
this morn

the crowd
avowed
the ball
and all
then groans 
and moans
clubs thrown
are known.

Embued
and hued
the words
like swords
wrong swing
the sting
bad lie
too high

the squeeze
on knees
in pleas?
to seize
the gold
and hold
glory
story

though droll
their goal 
control
cajole
that ball
to fall
or roll
in hole

Rico Leffanta August 22, 2022 at 10:58 AM Golf on a Monday must be a trend! Aloha! Ann Peck August 22, 2022 at 2:08 PM I failed golf in college--don't tell. I only took it because my dad bought me clubs. But I like to watch players chase that ball up and down hills. OK--how do you fail golf? You put score of final game in wrong place on test. :) Aloha/
