Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Sure Sign of Spring

     Neither tulip nor daffodil
       not bluebells on my windowsill

    Not the longer days
      nor the sun’s warm rays

    Neither puddles to splash in
      nor love's urgent passion

    Not the baby carriages
      or April marriages ...

    But the roar of the crowd
      The crack of the bat

    O’er the land of the free
       Baseball’s back!

David Crandall February 27, 2025 at 11:16 AM was wondering what it was going to be - yay - baseball!

Terry Flood February 25, 2025 at 11:48 AM Enjoyed this muchly, GW. I’ve always felt that hitting that speeding ball with that narrow stick can only be achieved if the force is with you. I couldn’t do it… mind you, I couldn’t hit a barn door with a football. Roll on spring, but I’ll stick with fishing ;-) Gershon Wolf February 25, 2025 at 8:37 PM Can you throw a stone in the ocean?! lol.

Paula Goldsmith February 25, 2025 at 9:04 AM I enjoyed reading your fun spring write. It will be here soon. Hooray!!! Have a great time writing away..................... Gershon Wolf February 25, 2025 at 8:36 PM Today in Chicago felt like Spring. 52 degrees officially, but about 65 degrees in the sun at midday.

Regina Elliott February 25, 2025 at 7:56 AM Good one, Gershon. My son-in-law played baseball in high school and spring means golf and baseball season to him, lol! He used to play in a softball league, but he's 45 now and has the aches of aging so he quit a while back. My late husband and I went to a few baseball games at the Asheville minor league park. They're named the "Asheville Tourists." Blessings and Shalom

Oliver Mckeithan February 25, 2025 at 5:25 AM Absolutely Gershon!! Maybe it will be the frustrating Phillies this year! Good one Gershon Wolf February 25, 2025 at 8:35 PM Either the frustrating Phillies, the cuddly Cubbies, ... or how about those woe-begone White Sox?!

Michael Tor February 24, 2025 at 10:44 PM Ha ha that helps in moving forward Gershon. Nothing like baseball to bring the spirits up. Hope you enjoy the season...
