The Left Arm Bowler’s Joy
The lovely late swerve
of the in-swinger
often brought me joy;
that look of panic
a pitch-length away,
expanding eyes,
futile lunging bat
kinetically committed,
to opening ‘the gate’
allowing free passage
to the stumps beyond.
If only all life
worked
so well.
I am a writer who enjoys writing humour, satire, poetry and sometimes a bit of philosophy. I live in Perth, Western Australia and occasionally get a poem or article published. It's all good fun! I have two books available for unwary readers, Grudges, Rumours and Drama Queens- The Civil Servant's Manual (This contains all that anybody could ever want to know about why government runs so slowly) and More Gravy Please! - the Politician's Handbook. (available through Amazon). Real name Peter Tapsell...just started off writing under a pseudonym and kept going.
