summer at my Aunt Joanne’s
meant staying out as late as it took the sun to set!
And mostly with my cousin Chris,
I threw a baseball back and forth
with exhilaration each time I felt
the impact of Chris having thrown the ball
right smack in...

Being the shortest in my high school gym class
Attempts to play basketball brought no success
Broke my finger while trying to catch a pass
Leaping to take balls from tall girls? What a mess!

Always loved football, baseball and soccer too
But in basketball I succumbed to defeat
Just couldn’t...

No medicine cabinet holds a prescription labeled, 'Take two pills for the sorrow in your heart, or to stop the darts of emotion that hits the targets on center.'
That dreaded word 'Cancer' can take control of the thoughts that go on replay when you can't...

Take me in to the Ball Game
   Take me into my room
Just switch on the old-fashioned radio
   For a taste of the game, it's the best way to go

'Cos it's write, write, write a new poem
   As you cock...

Went to a ball game; sat in the stands
With my husband, my kids and of course, with the grands.
The weather did dazzle, there was a soft breeze;
Delightful to have weekend outings like these.

The pitchers, the catchers, the swing of the bat,
The sun beating down on...

In the summer of my
youth, on a fair day so
grand, my dear old
dad took me out
to the ball park.

Smelling the
 fragence of the
freshly cut grass,
was a moment
never to forget.

The crack of the bat
sounds echoing around
the ball park is
so near my heart, to
this very day.

Sitting in...

Don't be a football,
Thrown and kicked down the field
Like rocks of nature;
Rather, be a bouncing ball
Sowing and reaping life's goals...

In a quiet trailer park, 
Just a short walk from the middle school
Where we all felt our way
Through literature, science and math,
Often silent during the worst –
Passing, but only with average scores

Our hearts were full of touchdown dreams
Moments, startled awake by the echoing
Laughter and peace...
