The poet in me

Says to the tennis player in me:

“You do not succeed in tennis

Because your love is mouth-deep,

And your service is arm-long.”

The tennis player in me

Says to the poet in me:

“No doubt you have made

Appreciable progress

In your poetry,

But alas,

Your world-acclaim

Is still a far cry.” ```
