Baseball in Grass Image

Waiting for Jack

Forgotten among the faded-to-sepia zoysia, all color drained after Summer fled south... one lone baseball faces the coming cold and Jack Frost's arrival. Will Jack want to play ball?

         silence on the field —
         a round object hidden
         by bleached out grass

Kåre Enga [180.52] (3.juni.2023)

I wonder whether I could make this go somewhere? *Bigsmile* I write/do bittersweet better than humor. *Smirk2* I imagine Pollyanna putting bandages on her scars after getting hit by a bat. *Shock* Horror, not my preferred genre, would entail tearing them off again after they're infected with maggots. *Shock2* Fortunately, Jack, Pollyanna's brother, is fond of her. *Smile* Will he pick up the ball? *Think* Ah... Chapter 2.
