Best Bunt Poems

Eagle light, I sun to you; through burning rainbows of the precious holy triangle, in the eyeful name of faith. Thanking you, for boldness, tameness,and firmness.

I choose to cloud strong in the stars of your perfections, with all righteousness. 

I renounce the fold and toad...

Jehovah of Armies
made a count one day
of all His weapons
keeping man at bay

of non leathal weapons
He gave the skunk his stink
and a little less harmless
the octopus' ink

sometimes more is needed
to get a point across
a little pain and fear
to impress a loss

soon there will be no...

Now we along one of hard rims are brought;
And a thin spray on the  brook is fixed, 
So shield to rims and water is begot.

As Flemings, Cadsand and Bruges bewixt,
Fearing the high waves pouncing against shore,
Build dikes to sea to have shield affixed; 

And...

The first three pitches: just outside. Pitch four:
right at the knees - "Steerike!", the umpire calls.
I wait to get the pitch I'm hoping for…
The next toss: high and tight... a base on balls.

I take my lead. I check the signs and frown -
he throws, I...

BASEBALL IS ENTERTAINMENT 
I LOVE PUTTING ON A SHOW 
I GIVE IT MY BEST WIND-UP 
LET THAT BASEBALL GO 

SOMETHING ABOUT A STRIKE-OUT 
A FEELING THAT THINGS WENT WELL 
UNLIKE THE HOMERUN PITCH 
WHERE IT FEELS THEY RANG MY BELL 

I CONSIDER IT A CHALLENGE...

THEY SAY YOU ARE THE K-KING 
I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD 
SOMEONE SAID YOUR FASTBALL 
WAS THE BEST HE EVER HEARD 
THEY SAY YOU HAVE A FASTBALL 
THE FASTEST OF THEM ALL 
SHOW ME YOUR BEST FASTBALL 
I'LL DRIVE IT OFF THE WALL 
THEY SAY...

Horn Baseball and Football Haiku

Took a swing or two
At a baseball that I do
Always love so true.

Out what I have found
Bat hits baseball on the ground
Love to hear its sound.

Then I must admit
After landing in my mitt
Playing could not quit.

A time once upon
After hitting a...

I HAVE TO GET SOME EARLY SLEEP  
FOR TOMORROWS GAME  
I HAVE TO FACE THAT NOLAN RYAN  
HE THROWS SMOKE AND FLAME  

YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION 
RYAN DON'T MESS AROUND 
HE'S BEEN KNOWN TO STRIKE ME OUT 
WHEN HE'S ON...

Die Rose,
die im Stillen mir schon blühte,
vertrocknet war sie schnell im Morgenlicht.
Und auch ihr Duft,
verging zu schnell, 
Wie kurz geträumter Traum,
der leicht  zerbricht.

Wo dürre Zweige
sich verworren zeigen,
im Dickicht,
hinter frischem Grün,
zeigen sich Blüten bunt
im Farbenreigen,
bevor sie schnell 
im Sommerlicht verblühn.

Die Rose,
die ich meine,
sie blühte nur...

(Continued from Double Play - Part 1) 

With glove on knee and fingered stitch the pitcher was so ready
He threw the ball at Casey who like a rock was steady
Casey thought he’d fool them all and moved his bat to bunt
The prayers were truly needed,...

In baseball, a player may bunt
In football, a player may punt
But in bedroom sports
A lady cavorts
In a frantic search for a runt...

She was the type who dressed only in darks,
a ‘non-conformist’ teen who bathed in snark,
in black lipstick her smile did hide,
row of piercings ran above her eyes.

Her family came in October to my inn,
a bed-and-breakfast in a Victorian,
early fall I made it over into
a classic...

Jack Ruby ...
(newbie)
boob tubie stoogie
step up and bunt, sir
that's an affront, sir, to all the
manic panic room ragers
bouncing their pagers off eyes-in-the-sky
hollow-point queries, thus ...
conspiracy theories
swept under the thug-rug like dust
shaking the pillars, grand homes of white
retrieving a tossed stick
bleeding and caustic for that egg-shaped...
