Poem – Curve Ball – Out of the Yard

Sometimes life is like a curve ball

Sometimes life is like a fast pitch

Sometimes it is

Strike

One

Two

Three

Sometimes

It is

four balls

and a walk

I don’t know why

it sometimes works

and sometimes doesn’t

why decisions have to be so tough

why decisions have to be so rough

sure

there are others who have it harder

I am not blind to their suffering

I just wish

I could hit that curve ball

hit it

right

out of the yard

        Thank you. Sometimes inspiration just hits at the oddest of times. I was lucky to get this one down just after I woke up one morning. I have lost so many good ideas when I didn’t do that. Thanks for all the likes on my blog. I am glad you enjoyed reading.

        I decided to take a journey back through my own poems, to find out who liked them and to pay them a visit. It’s easy to miss great stuff in a world where we are all writing in different time zones. Anyway, I have had a really interesting walk through your words, so thank you.

        WordPress opens the door for so much talent that I keep stumbling on stuff each day that amazes me. I also flipped through your blog and found I enjoyed your stuff as well. You have an interesting way of presenting your poems. Very creative. Thanks again for swinging by.
