Batter, Batter, Swing

When life throws you a curveball, swing for the fences... it's the only way to live!

LIFE’S CURVEBALLS

A past time of getting hit by a curveball, would send me off my trolley
Now I see it, catch it, as return it to sender, with one all mighty volley

Playing football earned me a concussion
   Basketball tore the cartilage in my knee
Running cross-country sprained me my ankle
   While boxing knocked the sense out of me

Throwing a curveball ruined my elbow
   Swimming lap after lap did 'fix' my shoulder
My erratic golf swing left my back in a knot 
   And I've arthritis everywhere, now I've grown older

Premium Member Sweeping Snow

angels sweeping out flakes
lackadaisically

successive shift:
fast and furious

angels on break
storehouse still
to be emptied

funniest sight?
a full-size snowman
drops from the clouds

foreman’s mad
he smiles though
at the cheeriest
curveball snow

angel’s never angry more
than a millisecond
heaven’s work a joy
yesterday, today and forever

Mr Curveball

Mr Curveball was a drifter visiting from left field 
Mr Curveball only stayed long enough to be a fleeting thought, 
a brain sneeze, his presence often indicated by frowns, 
robotic owls looking around, he was a head scratch, 
fingers on a chin, occasionally rubbing slowly
invisibly introduced as a spaghetti of oddity until he moved on
- a man dressed as a question dressed as a man undressed
