The Links
Brushed gentle strokes of
The greens keeper's pallet
With rich and lush greens
Wild flower surrounded
Blue as sky or blue as sea
And sands painted white
The Links
A daily gessoed canvas
Commissioned only by those
Who for aesthetic respite
From heart caths and sore throats
Begin to arrive
Before light
The Links
Welcome the greatly honored
To bid on tee times,
As if they are coveted prizes
Like the taste of fine vintage wine
To be the first to shout "Fore"
And slice to the right
The Links
Return its beneficiaries
To the sought home of golf's heart
Where the way the waltz it was meant
To be played from the start
Sway from the moment of sunrise
Until the cover of night
The Links
Were first perhaps found
By young adventures who
With sticks and rocks
Created an experience so brand new
That even if tipped over
Would forever itself aright
The Links
Thirsty real estate agents
Sell with unbridled passion
Those homes that surround
That are built in such the fashion
To appeal to the widowed wives
And red ribboned dogs that don't bite
The Links
Paradise that lovingly separates
The dark fertile soil from demands
Of the oceans high tide dance
Slapping with white foam hands
The links will forever remain
The golfers life and delight

Links
They went everywhere!
Strewn across the lands.
I went in search.
With love and care.
I began in a small village.
They wore

Bicycle Chain
I discovered it on accident
searching through the wreckage of youth,
buried behind old boxes
of keepsakes never
Staying far
Never breaks a relation
Staying near
Never builds a relation
It is the …
Links between hearts
That makes
Holy Sausage Links
Here is the story of our love for links,
but not of the Internet kind.
Not of the type that holds chains
