YESTERDAY IN VERMONT photo © susan arnold











EXTRA INNINGS




It thundered and roared five inches of rain last night

Right onto and off the big steel roof

Visitors about to leave took a look outdoors and back-tracked inside

We talked one or two more rounds

Said goodbye one more time

Had all that extra living

Because of the rain




Bob Arnold says this poem has less to do with baseball and everything to do with affection.
