Home-grown baseball … summer evenings … popcorn … it all sounds so relaxed, peaceful, and fun. I love the language of baseball, other sports too come to that, but I have to go online to make sure I’ve got it right. If you’re not sure of a term I’ve used, check out this site http://tinyurl.com/p4yp9w
COUNTRY BALL GAME
parents comment 
on leather flashed
by a player
or a good heater
that goes close and tight
while an easy meatball
becomes a caught souvenir
they cheer
when the batter
hits on the button
and roar most of all
when a kid whacks
a moon-shot
beyond the fence-line
A Summer Father … poems as deceptively simple and cunning as a sniper’s bullet. This book is a Remembrance Day poppy. Dave Margoshes
