Golf at Tramore Ireland (Photo)‘Golf’ and Other Poetry by Russel Winick The Society April 23, 2020 Beauty, Culture, Humor, Poetry 1 Comment Golf My friends love golf so much But I do not share the allure. There’re many other ways for me To function like manure. It’s Love Last night we watched old videos Our kids were 3 and 4 I told one son about it And he said “You must be bored.” Until I had a wife and kids I knew not what love was And now my son can’t know it yet, I hope someday he does. Confidence The NBA’s first ever Three-point contest beckoned. And putting on his sneakers Larry Bird asked “Who’ll get second?” Mr. Winick recently started writing poetry at nearly age 65, after ending a long legal career. He resides in Naperville, Illinois.

Anderson April 24, 2020 Russel, In “Golf” I did not understand the “manure” reference, unless you mean the goose crap that covers most of the golf courses around here, thanks to an overabundance of Canada geese that spend the summer here in New England. “It’s Love” was the best of the three, but in the penultimate line “though” would have worked better than “now.” “Confidence” strikes home, if only because I have lived in the Boston area for several decades.
