muddy day with water
on the greens, sun blotchy,
socks wet, some frogs
hopping down fairways,
the niblick blasting out
from sandy traps, the kiss
of death on every ball,
the woods gulps, swallows
a Top-Flite, refuses
freedom to lost players,
some spending eternity
trapped behind hole #4,
a cow says moo
and Ruthie jumps,
topping her drive,
her laughter gurgling
through the mist.
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
