Premium Member Batter Up

The air was full, pregnant,
shivering with anticipation.
All of nature held its breath.
The trees stood their small branches,
like eyelashes tensely open,
waiting for the day to blink.

Premium Member At long last

How tensely fraught with nerves was Rory
When entered in the Masters again
Never  before there a victory
Rather his efforts had all been in vain
Right there his head had to be OK
To don the green jacket  there and then

Reaching Through the Rubble

A man 
tensely
tied to a
tired tempered tower.
With his mind
like a reticent
rutted rat 
scurrying off 
to cower
within the 
crooked cryptic 
corners of 
reality.

But whose
heart is the 
only hand
reaching out
of the rubble.
Still hanging
onto a 
half hushed
howl of hope.

Drifting From Dreams

Back when 
all that laid ahead 
were the unheard 
tales of time 
tensely twirling 
towards tomorrow.
Where our 
hollow heedless 
heads of hope
would wistfully 
follow.
Still strumming 
out their
stammering 
starless streams
of desolate 
undecided 
dreams.
Then bashfully
burn out 
into bittersweet 
beams of 
belittlement.
