Sprint Training Haiku

2423493880_6598f3e552_o_tiny by JayhawkTom on

The long-awaited day drives me to wax in rhapsodic haiku:

The five sweetest words
Pitchers and catchers report
Ringing in my ears

Every season is filled with promise and "Wait 'til next year" begins today. New faces in new places, rookies and NRIs look to make splashes, and, with gratitude to Jake Taylor,  vets get the chance to have that "one last season in the sun".

Ode to Spring Training
Field of fresh-cut grass,
Long toss; a game renewed.
Dammit, my labrum!

who cares if it is early
Hope springs eternal
If even for just a day
Tampa is in first

Jeez
Sorry for apparently cribbing so many lines from people. I just saw the headline and jumped in -- no idea we all shared so many of the same thoughts.

My take
Prior winds and throws
He grimaces yet again
