"Baseball: A Found Poem" by Monty Gilmer. . .

I dedicate this found poem of mine about baseball to the memory of my father Hugh M. Gilmer, who was born on this day in 1914. (He died in 2006.) His favorite sport was baseball, which he enjoyed playing when he was a boy.


BASEBALL: A FOUND POEM
by Monty Gilmer

(A sports quotation from Jacques Barzun)

Baseball is a kind
Of collective chess
With arms and legs in full
Play under sunlight.
