Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Relaxing In Autumn On the Lower East Side

Sitting here listening to 
 baseball game on my radio 
   I feel the joy of the new season
Halloween and leaves changing 
  color 
   The season of the World Series 
and football 
   The brutal heat of 
the New York City summer 
  is gone 
Cool breezes blow across our mortal frames 
  My team - the New York Metropolitans 
    are winning    
I feel like I will 
    be a winner this season, too
 A season with a new lover - hopefully 
I've got women on my mind this fall 
Sitting here writing verse 
  feeling a bit of anticipation  
In late September on 
  New York's Lower East Side

Kp Nunez September 30, 2015 at 6:08 AM :-))) This made me smile Matthew. Baseball and "women" (in plural form?) can indeed make any man's season full of anticipation. All the best then... Kim
