"A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom" ~ Robert Frost

Ode To Golf Clubs

A mission, an objective, sink a ball in a hole,

Your job to fight the ball, fight the little dimpled ball on a tee. Fight the ground, the sand fight is what you do.

The green engulfs me, I take it all in, Swinging you, inflicting you pain.

The white celestial ball flies cuts through the air, aimed for the green, bounce, bounce, bounce. Disappear. In the rough.

In fury and pain I knee you in the steel bending your shaft, Broken forever,

Anger is not the key to unlock you, power matters not, the fitting key will be in repetition and practice much,

All to sink a ball in a whole.

I was raised by bat swingin, fastball throwin, Trophies that are bigger then you kind of friends.
 * I was raised by Sports Players**

Club swingin, Tee placing, dog leg left crushing, 6 iron hitting, left handed drawing and fading, kind of father.

Team screamen, jersey wearing, yell so loud they will wake the neighbors, types of sports fans.

leather throwin, ball hiking, not afraid to get muddy, tackling kinds a friends.

The first time i played The Crisp air blows through the trees, Propane briefly sits under my nose as the cart starts, The glowing iron and graphite shafts becon to be held, The bag weighs down the back of the cart,
 * Memory Poem**

We begin to move to the first tee, the tall sleek tee spikes into the ground cleanly, the dimpled white ball sits as a trophy on the pillar,

I take the silver 6 iron,I glide the club scraping the grass, I'm Reddy for the first hole

As time goes on-Frank Sinatra
 * Riff poem**

as time goes on we forget our thoughts, we forget out memory's, about laughter,

as time goes on we forget about friends, friends who help us, who hurt us,

As time goes we forget about place, we forget about traveling, and vacations,

As time goes on.

E.E. Cummings ====E.E. Cummings uses many different literary techniques in his poetry. One of them was repetition. Many lines in his poems were repeated to show greater meaning. Such as in the poem "as freedom in a breakfeast food", E.E. Cummings repeats the beginning of each sentence twice to give a second example on what he is talking about. E.E Cumming's poems range from a small tree, the poem "little tree' to a prostitute, the poem==== 'kitty'. sixteen,5'1",white,prostitute"
