Life Is Like That
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

In and out of a sand trap

Safely on the green.

Two puts and I'm home free

Par for the course.

 

Life can be like that.

One day you're in the rough.

Another day your on the green

Heading for a birdy hole.

 

But then your easy par

Turns into a bogey,

And the day does not go well,

Wondering what went wrong.

Very powerful analogy, King! Well done!

In my heart, I sense it's about your lung...
But I am believing you will be restored - safely to the green - and score a Hole in One!

Much love & prayers, xoRhonda

Yep, scratching your head and calling up ALL of those off-color words and phrases, as if they will help the situation.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
