Will do. No one loved baseball and America more than Mama. She would sing the song, Take Me Out To The Ballgame all through the house on Game Day. A sweet free verse poem, Bill, that made me tear up.
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes in the contest.

I don't think I've ever read a free verse poetry entry by you. You picked an interesting topic for it. Good luck in the contest.

This started out as heck of a tongue-twisting baseball persona...In about
the seventh inning stretch it took a left turn into a satirical slant...Completely catching this reader off guard, like those wayward throws from the wild pitcher. It is definitely free verse. Good luck in the
contest.

I like it! You use alliteration, internal rhymes and different grammatical forms of the same word. But I especially liked " race the baseball home." I'm watching a lot of baseball games lately as two of my grandkids play. Best wishes in the contest!

Another quirky post, great alliteration indeed in the first verse, and a a real conclusion and defining of and to the game of baseball, although we play baseball here, not a great participation, well done, blessings Roy
