This
red ball
I hold
in my hand
colour of
Alizarin Crimson
leather covered
white stitching
in six lines
it feels
soft
but hard
the colour
is intense
need to
rub it
incessantly
don't
want to
damage it
by throwing
it
don't want
to treat
it the
way
it is meant
to be
treated
it wants
to be thrown
but I
can't...

This red ball I hold in my hand
means nothing to me...

This is my first

ball, and it happened to be red. I don't even watch the cricket! But I was shopping for walking shoes and came across this beautiful ball and it became mine and it is used by the Cricket team, low and behold, (who cares) Thankyou :)fleur

Well, I've never quite been infatuated with that particular ball. Clever write. Love the impossibly originality of it, Fleur. ~A

Oh Lyz, thank you

I am so gobsmacked and a bit overwhelmed by the response to my Weirdelf poem, only just got home now (9.58pm) I couldn't log out last night, my server was down. And it's going to take me awhile to reply to all these comments. Thankyou again for your encouragement, the world would be boring without you. :)fleur
