Course Write a short paragraph in which you evaluate what
makes the poem effective and give your opinion of the
poem overall
It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Chuck Keller, fat even as a boy, was on first,
His t-shirt riding up over his gut,
Ron O'Neill, Jim, Dennis, were talking it up
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus
And there I was,
Just off the plane and plopped in the middle
of Williamsport, Pa and a neighborhood game,
Unnatural and without any mores,
Hly notions of baseball and America
Growing furier each time I whifted.
So it was not impossible that I
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Waald enddanto find mealfin the nath
