    About this ebook

    From working in the summer on sports fields to watching games at the stadium or court, these poems deal with the gift and frustration of sport. From baseball, football, basketball, golf, and other life sports comes a perspective of a novice trying to play games where only few excel. Frustrations, talent, hope, despair shines through and maybe some humor as well.

      Reeling In The Years

      Oct 15, 2020

      WHEN I wake up I’ve begun to heave out of bed and groan in a way a horse does as it rolls. Sort of loud and unattractively guttural. When I sit on the sofa, I expel air like a burst beachball. Pfffffffft. My knees are rogered and if I go for a run I
