The Mets Or the Met
Should one watch sports or 
    go see great art 
Why not do both ? 
After all Carl Sandburg wrote a poem
   about baseball 
   and he was an artist 
No. I don't draw as well
    as the old masters
but I do enjoy doodling 
    There is no joy in Mudville 
   if you receive rejections letters!...

Ifog Cloud
they come like little pawed feet
gathering strings and yarns of life
silently sitting on their haunches
eager to peek further in the door
'til hounds arouse to nip at bytes 
and paws skitter and move on

World Series of Poets
A.R. Ammons on the mound
Auden on the mound
Ginsberg on 1st
Frost on second
Carl Sandburg on third
Ferlinghetti at short
Right Field - Wordsworth
Left field - Shelly 
Blake - Center field
Shakespeare  - Catcher
Have I dropped enough 
names for you?
What's so bad about
being a name dropper?
The game is on 
Unfortunately my team 
is losing
But with poetic talent
They may yet
Eke out a victory
Postscript  - They just won!...

Silvery Moon
Silvery Moon drifts through open window.
Baby's bassinet is bathed in evening sky.

Across the open yards, Silvery Moon gifts,
gifts love and devotion to taper the shadows.
A shimmer to shield from darkness
dusting sleepy lids with light like baby powder.

Hold fast to fleeting innocence
and boldness of brilliant shield
as you swaddle my tender babe tonight
through open window, Silvery Moon.


By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, August 7, 2012
Inspired by Babyface (Carl Sandburg)...

Cubs Victory
Another World Series 
  I lay down and watched 
as the Cubs 
won it in ten
   A victory after one hundred and eight years of frustration 
My hometown team - the Mets 
   didn't mention it this year 
   but I salute the Cubs of Chicago 
Carl Sandburg wrote of that metropolis and 
    wrote of baseball 
Thousands upon thousands 
    of fans 
in 
the 
stands 
  cry out 
for the their team
   After the struggle 
 I pick up a pen - write this ode
   about the field of dreams...
