Bounding Curve Ball
Poetic Verses on Setbacks
Curve balls bound to us at the most unexpected of times, and we've got to know how best to hit them. One bound my way yesterday, and I now respond to it with this post.
Responding to a curve ball requires us not to let emotions cloud our view of it. We've got to keep an eye on it constantly and think of ways to deflect it instead of letting it injure us.
Curve balls don't have to cause blows - there are ways to hit them back. Enjoy these senryus.
A bounding curve ball
Ready to deal a harsh blow
Anger clouds vision
A bounding curve ball
Ready to consume our might
Eye always on curve
A bounding curve ball
Now within our range of sight
Now ready to smash.
