Don't Pitch To A Pitcher
Written By: D. Collins 10/25/24
Don't pitch to a pitcher, they know how the ball drops.
What spin is upon it, to put it out the park.
Don't pitch to a pitcher, if his name is Shohei.
Your ball might end up in the Frisco Bay.
The Dude has eyes that none of us have seen.
Knowing what pitch is

The Conversation Between the Catcher and the Pitcher
Diving for the ball,
Balling into a dust-
Orange roll,
The catcher tossed it back to the pitcher
After a ball three, and walked up to him.
The descent of the night's sky
Made the ballfield lights a sudden relevance.
The catcher's cleats hit the ascending tip
of the diamond. He threw back his mask:
"You got this."
"I know I got this."
"Just throw

Broken Pitcher
When the pitcher of that little girl broke
And the nectar-like water she’d carried from far shed;
Some smiled; some laughed; some scolded her carelessness,
Some walked on their way as its normal happening;
It’s the poor neighbor boy, who was carrying two of such,
Gave her one; erased her embarrassments; out of pure love!

Batter Up, No Longer
From outfield judging eyes await your plight,
though sweat and stupor feign to your ruin.
Now pull up your trousers, cinch your belt tight...
glaring down from mound, pitch straight and proven.
Blurred ball unleashed, pitcher's swift arm uncoiled...
tho' bat be av'rage, the batter may not.
Cauldron-like blood boiled, fever'd swing loyal,
now away to skies, all eyes

Poor Batter and Pitcher
Poor Batter and Pitcher
Have often wondered what is the matter,
With the Mariner Pitched including batter;
Errors made;
Into past fade;
Which has been the worst former or later?

A Pitcher Worth a Thousand Words
I never knew a pitcher like the one I met today,
he nibbled at the corners, then brought it hard and fast.
Though others have been on the mound, I really have to say,
I never knew a pitcher like the one I met today.
I was trembling in the batter’s box, completely blown away.
This was our first encounter

Pitcher of Beer
Pitcher of Beer
While we will not ever disagree,
Under tree each one wanted to see,
Where there pitcher drawn had gone;
Did dawn on them when on front lawn,
It happened to be inside of me

Now there is quite a rhyme scheme
for you. See if you can beat that one.

Tin Pitcher
In her heart just beneath her skin lays a tin pitcher.
The spout along with it's sides covered with frost from the coldest of water.
Parched lips long for a drink.
But without cup or glass.
I implore that I have swallowed fear of the utmost; Diving in head first.
A slow sip that eases the insecurity of rejection.
Another sip that

Pitcher Deals
Pitcher deals.
Center snaps.
Forward volleys.
Captain kneels.
Wing traps.
Road team rallies.
Runner steals.
Driver laps.
Bookies watch at O'Malleys.
Coach jaws.
Goalie paws.
Mothers pray.
Midfielder moans.
Winners eat macaroons.
Fathers look less gray.
Refs tally the time left
'Til the moon rises.
Fans leave, bereft,
Searching for further surprises.

Pitcher Perfect
The Lord poured me, a pitcher of time.
For my personal use, it was only mine.
A generous portion, it seemed I got.
I wasted so much, I poured out a lot.
Exchanged for things, not a bargain in the end.
I can't get time back, it's not something I lend.
My pitcher's half empty, thankfully not too late.
I finally come

The Pitcher On the Shelf
Pitcher on the shelf
In your scared body covered with paint
The capacity to love and live again remain
Caught trapped from years of abuse
Hurt impossible to explain
Even family can't see through to the pain
Right will win but when

The Empty Pitcher
The empty scared pitcher
Nicked, cracked, and in need of paint
Trying to fill it with water
It leaked on the sink
Spilling forth to wet
The surfaces and the floor
A little prayer to God above
Filled the pitcher with his love
Now repaired and just like new
Water pours forth
Not spilling on the floor
But going forth to people who
Are also filled
