Image: A Few pointers at the 18th
before teeing off (here)
looking down the fairway at the
18th tee with the legs locked up
it had been a good game
for the past two-and- a- half hours
we were pitting our prowess against
each other below a clear blue sky
Much too hot where even the dark
glasses were complaining at the
rivulets of sweat clouding the vision
beautiful flowers though brightened
up to greet the flight where crows
and sparrows kept company in
the bushes darting out occasionally
upon our presence
pairs of black swans at the nearby
lake gliding leisurely while we golfers
were sweltering and thinking of the cool
refreshments at the end of the game

A Good Game, a good verse, well done Hank.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
The reward of cool drinks, yeah. Reminds me of when my children were so much younger and we used to take them to walk around The Queens Park Savannah, after I got home from work. At the end our walk, we would buy coconut water and roasted corn on con.
