Baseball: Opening Day Poem by Cretan Maineiac

Baseball: Opening Day

Rating: 5.0


Muggy today, a
pop of the mitt, a whiff of
the grass, swish of the
bat in the April air,
and two little words: 'Play ball! '

This poem captures what we, as Americans, wait for... those two words! Incredible how you said so much in 26 words. I enjoy all of your poems - of all lengths - but this one incorporates all of my senses, and that's always a good thing. Wonderful! X

Those are the only two words that thaw me from the cold winter season... the words I live for! From one baseball fan to another... Lee
