For those interested I thought we could have a thread for poetry. Poetry has been a real passion for me. It’s about the only thing I’ve had a natural talent for. Anyway, I’ll start with one of my own.

Amongst The Blue
 

The waves come a-crashing.

   Float she does on years of turmoil, thickened skin from fighting happiness.
   Dive into the sapphire water.
Laugh with the starfish as they mourn the loss of relevancy.
   Lost at sea they say. She's not. 
Only the lost feel she doesn't belong.
   She plays with jellyfish and admires their transparency, not caring what dangers lie within.
  Life around her craves her life force, so exuberant. They cannot hear the storm deep within.
   She hears it. And at one time was swallowed by it.
   The waves come a-crashing.
She laughs. And the starfish laugh with her, for, she has made them relevant.
   And into the sapphire water she dives, not lost.
  Mourned by sea.

In the Desert

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;

“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”

-Stephen Crane

I'm a big fan of Pablo Neruda also.

    • I still need to do my pieces better.  Still a little steep in the downswing. Hands could get better depth earlier in the backswing.  This shot started left of target and went left. Probably path was out, face was closed a lot.       At A5, it’s probably the best it’s been.  I need to feel more shallowing from A5 to A6. Hands need to go straight down and club needs to shallow. I need to turn. I am just way too closed here. Just trying to buy time to lower the arms. Everything stalls from time to time. Timing is highly variable. Not a big fan of the slight EE.  I am just hanging back at impact.     
    • Welcome to The Sand Trap!
    • Well, on a "Bummer Note,"  I borrowed a Great Big Bertha driver, a 5 wood, and a 7 iron. I did not do very well but did shoot a 112 playing both right and left handed.   So, I decided to take a breather and play golf on my Play Station 5 and not play any real golf until the new set of clubs get her.  So, I will be back in  a week or so and bring everyone up to date.    Retired Old Man = Terry 
    • I usually just drink a beer after playing golf. I may stretch my arm out and alert the barkeep that I want a second beer!
    • I have never performed any kind of "study" on this but I "feel" like I play better after a workout. I hit the gym the morning before rounds when ever I can.  The truth is I "feel" better after a morning workout no matter what I'm doing afterwards.  If I do any kind of workout after the round, 99 times out of 100 its just stretching.
