A Good Walk...

The sun was hung high o’er a cloudless blue sky
Green grass rolled over the hills
And nestled away in the sycamore trees
Were the songbird’s echoing trills

The lake was shimmering with sparkling lights
As a cool breeze blew in from the east
The sand on the beach was silken and white
Not a grain out of place in the least

Would this pastoral scene ease my poor soul?
Would my stroll bring peace to my mind?
Alas no! For I had bogeyed the fourth
And now I was three strokes behind…

    I was hoping this was about golf as soon as I read the title. Bravo!

    I love that this is in verse form, even if it is about golf. ;p Seriously, this was very well written. Good job.

    Three strokes behind after four holes? Not off to a good start.
    This was very fun and unexpected. I like.
