Poem of the Month: ROCKtober 2007

Dedicated to the Colorado Rockies baseball team,
with thanks for an amazing season.
Sweep the World Series!

The Base Stealer Poised between going on and back, pulled both ways taut like a tightrope walker, fingertips pointing the opposites, now bouncing tiptoe like a dropped ball or a kid skipping rope, come on, come on, running a scattering of steps sidewise, how he teeters, skitters, tingles, teases, taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird, he's only flirting, crowd him, crowd him, delicate, delicate, delicate, delicate--now! --Robert Francis Journal prompts: Who is your favorite sports team? Tell a story. What does it mean to you to be a true champion? Write about a winning streak you've experienced in your own life.
