This Lonely Limb

This lonely limb where we now cling,
Disregarding mortal things:
This lonely limb where bluejays sang,
Shall be the place where we shall hang.
This lonely limb, where we now crawl:
Our whole world, lest we should fall.
This lonely limb, once green with leaf,
Now desolate, bare, just filled with grief.
This lonely limb, where we all once ate,
Now lies still, resigned to fate.
This lonely limb, where bonds we make,
Shall be our beds when sleep we take.
This lonely limb, where our forms lie still,
Our place of joy ….

Hole in one

one perfect swing from a
hundred fifty five yards into the wind
over the marsh to a small green
beautiful draw trajectory
the ball is focused on one thing only
it hits the fringe and rolls to the flag
then dies in the hole
was I ready for a miracle?
I was hoping
but was I ready?
no
did I believe in miracles?
sure
I had you in my life

Four Bagger

He feels it, then hears the loud crack of the hit
The connection so hard that it makes the bat split
Turn right while assessing the facts of the ball
A hairline determines home run or the wall
He’s rounding to second, no need for a coach
He can tell by the screams from the good home town folks
The ball’s in the air and it’s still up for grabs
Third base coach, a windmill of homeward bound stabs
He’s running to third now, the shortstop backs up
The ….

Crew(Rowing)

They told me hell awaited me
Told me I would visit the brink of the valley of the shadow of death
That I would see the devils scull, enter it
That I would sit within the burning shell of some cruel dragons egg
They told me and I listened
I am self, my self, no one else
I am self; I am I, nothing else
I am on the erg approaching the verge, stepping closer and closer–I pull over and over, approaching that which is not mine, ….

Stock Car

Stock car # 98 slows down as my grandfather approaches the pit stop.
Tires smoking like a house on fire.
I can see the inpatient glare in my grandfather’s eyes
under his white helmet.
He is quickly losing the race, as
3, then 4, cars pass.
He revs his engine so loud that the whole crowd turns to stare,
And he takes off again faster than adrenalin rushing through your body,
To catch up to what he lost.
Suddenly, the whole crowd screams “Johnny, Johnny!”
He won the race.
I slowly ….

The Save

The last shootout shot is here
And I stand between the pipes
He steps onto the ice with his
jersey with stripes.
The season’s on the line
I can’t afford to fail
Cuz if I do all my hard work
Will end in one big tale
The whistles blown and he comes down
With tremendous speed
As scared as I was at that moment
I had to do my deed
I come out high to challenge him
And then he goes around me
In that moment then I thought
“Oh no how could this be?”
I ….

Twenty-Five Years in the Making

With Vandy up by one point … and the Hoyas down to one chance,
Jeff Green’s dramatic bank shot kept Georgetown in the Dance.
And when the Tar Heels won the nightcap to leave the Trojan hearts breaking,
The stage was set for a classic re-match — twenty-five years in the making.
Georgetown and Carolina are linked in college hoops lore
By Fred Brown … Michael Jordan … the 1982 Final Four.
Now, the Hoyas could exercise the demons from that night at the Dome
With an ….

Pakistan Cricket Team

Best Pakistani cricket team
Always ready for wining
Depends upon the players willing
Different player are playing
People are always expecting
Openers just started batting
Imran nazir ready for blasting
Timing is no more part of batting
Two or three shots make him thinking
To hit a good ball for a big one
Misjudge the ball, first wicket fall
Salman butt in the crease yet
Stopping the ball in front foot
Technique which not necessary works
Playing straight ball across the wicket
Ball hit pads and LBW appeal accepted
Younis khan is dancing guy
Play first fifty ….
