Watching the Masters today
With its beautiful scenery…
Azelas in bloom
The course so well groomed.
Makes our cold weather
Overwhelmingly gloom.
But easier to sit all day
Watching this game of golf.

As golfers compete
On a course so complete
With beauty and warmth
Create a mood of contentment.
My soul relaxes, my mind drifts
And yet my competitive spirit
Jumps with excitement…                  When the scores get close.

Rooting for one….
Throws serenity away
As the holes pass by…
Scenery noticed no more.
The focus has changed
From beauty and warmth
To sweating…                                            In the heat of competition.
