Two Strikes

Two Strikes by Charles Dana Gibson


Summer heat, good old boys, two strikes in the ninth
peanut vapors, gritty vibes, cacophonous uproar
beery stenches tickle fate, sweat forms on the brow
Cross your heart, clench your fists, come on bring it home!
beery stenches tickle fate, sweat forms on the brow
peanut vapors, gritty vibes, cacophonous uproar
Summer heat, good old boys, two strikes in the ninth

  5. makes me wish I liked baseball more. Truth being, though, that baseball for me is but a pacifier until REAL sports begin.

  7. Dan,
    Thank you! You're not amiss. Actually, I wrote it a while back but put it up yesterday. I just love poetry and thought I expressed it well and wanted to keep it on the front page.
