They have been through many tough years of late, with only one winning season since 1994. I was too young when the Royals won the World Series in 1985, so most of my memories are full of losing. But, I still love them. Here is a short poem in honor of my favorite sports team: The Kansas City Royals   Before the bats of ash   Before the years of pine The Royals won it before my time   Many years painful tears   Many years dreadful fears The Royals won it before my time   Playoffs played without eyes   Playoffs played nowhere mine The Royals won it before my time   Years without post-seasons   Years without real reasons The Kansas City Royals are mine So what is your favorite sports team / sports memory? poetry Gary R.

Also, this will be my first podcast, so if you feel up to listening, enjoy! Horrid House – Renewed I. Away for a while But still there Their senses linger Through the air Howls of silence A gentle feeling Laughter of anger Through the ceiling Painful thoughts Of whats still there With a wonder You’ll be there What will come With this journey Pain and tears Or bliss and cheers? II. As you enter The night begins With wraiths waiting In the darkness Scared and frightened You slam the door Locked, bolted Can’t endure Ghosts still wonder From ancients past Getting closer You see their masks Footsteps louder Creeping near Pan left, pan right Nothing there While you turn A shadow appears Running as quickly As your tears Weeping violently You smell the air Blood and urine Fill the atmosphere You creep forward And stroke your hair You feel something Not so fair Goo has fallen From your hair Wailing louder You must stare Look ahead Nothing to see Groans occur Now, Blood of sea Running faster Across the room Something’s coming But cannot see As you run You see a light Somethings glowing But not bright You see a mirror Across the hall You see writing Upon the wall “The horrors came To seek revenge Their lives were taken By our forsaken” “To cure this curse You must do worse Take this knife And do your worst” You grab the knife And hold it tight Ripping bowels From your side Fall to the floor And die slowly You see the ghosts A bit more clearly poetry Gary R.
