Long Playoff Poems

Heart, tempestuous and wild
Delights in the dance of contrast
Although knowing it will not last

White lines of collisions honor, marked by the numbered...

Northside of Chi-Town is full of emotion.
In the ‘45 Series Cubs and Tigers are battling.
Sianis buys two tickets to show his devotion.

To get the Dodgers out of the blues
Too close to Hollywood...

Sheila dressed carefully, greeting first love in fits of anticipation,
Amid glittering disco ball promoting twenty-fifth year class reunion,
Drum master is at play, thumping Sheila’s traitorous heartstrings
Heart seizes brain’s logic. Goodness! There he is now!

Exposing her...

No need to brag
Jeter #2 was born to play and win; now that’s swag

They left with happy faces
They were people from 
different places
They boarded with their cases

Just like a playoff
That i will be a tragedy they...

Score's zip to zilch, last inning's near halfway through
at Gettysburg Commons' baseball league playoff.
Champion Graycoats at their posts hitherto -
Blue Jackets hear the pitcher's husky cough -

a clue to the catcher - this batter's toast.

There was a lockout
Players couldn't play
It almost knocked me out
Games got canceled so I couldn't see
The New York Knicks play on TV 
But how did it happen? 
Do you really know?
I will tell...

Here I hold you in my very own hands
As I look at this old, yet important cap

The first time I've received this cap
Was when my...

one had to tolerate a lot of mediocrity.

For more than two years, we’ve been riding 
a tsunami, now surfing the sixth viral wave
and we’ve all become amateur epidemiologists.
Hooray for MRNA, but variants keep emerging
and we’re all getting tired of the Greek alphabet.

Night to the wake of a Dawn
Hardly can it’s birth be forgotten
Driven by the Deep of the Dawn
Bewildered in past present so rotten

Wondered in dark-deep abyss
Oblivious in the trodden lines
Yet broken the mind-ark in reminisce

Ego, the glue that makes us cling,
thereby causing us to stagnate,
amidst dream images conjured
by fickle heart, to add some bling
to chaste soul, prone to be sedate,
bleating until its cries are heard.

Poised in the void, we...
