DAMN RAIN
Rain – a necessity of life on earth, often
appearing rebuked.
Golf – a game, though unnecessary, has haunted
me, it seems, since birth.
Neither, alas, is within my control,
and both being… a part of my soul.
Each being a bet of its own,
each having a goal… unknown.
My caddie, also my foreman, serves as my right
hand. He feels the frustration of both “rain and
the game”, knowing the outcome can never be
‘planned’. So… here we are, we bet on a game,
but the winner today… yet again…
the Damn Rain!

Old Shoe

I feel that to you, I am a comfortable old shoe…
You are fond of me, care about me, for I’ve been around a long time,
But to you, this old shoe is no longer in its prime.

To you, I am a memory of something once adored,
You became used to the shoe, and then, became bored.
You show me no passion, or desire, or lust,
You found that elsewhere – new shoes are a must.

I mistakenly thought I would always be new,
That I would always be your favorite shoe,
Everything changes, perhaps I have too,
It’s time to recycle, and again…be new.
