The Shot

The grass is long, lush and green

Wind blowing at my back

as if it were an industrial fan

I reach reluctantly, reach for my driver

I start to search like a hawk

For a spot to land

I'm ready

I swing

The ball is sent

Piercing through the cold air

like a rocket launching

I see it land

I hear a thud

Safe and sound

In the fairway

Ready for the next shot.
