How can I write poetry when it’s back,
When cricket is back on television?
Up I get in the morning
And the tele goes on.
It is unheard of normally
But on this day I had cricket all morning,
And rugby all afternoon,
I was in my ‘field of dreams’.
At a time where I write poems
I was watching cricket,
The first time live test cricket
Was available to me.
It took me back to those days long ago
When cricket was always on the tele,
Those days of Cowdrey, Close and Dexter
Hitting the ball on black and white tv,
Wonderful childhood days.
Now it was back,
Back in my life in these Strange Times,
So some good had arrived in my life.

I'm glad something came around as we can't spend all our by the river!
I hope you get to that green soon my friend
Thanks Dan, it is good to see test cricket on the tv once more.
It’s the small pleasures in life that bring us joy ! Cricket , poetry walking in nature ! I’m Glad some goodness showed up for you
So very true Willow, those small pleasures are wonderful.

Sports on TV always a call to party Andy. Good write,
True Jerry, thank you.
Andy
forgive me Andy, I'm not the biggest cricket fan, but your write still took me back - in-time...
as I used to work at Lord's and Twickenham in my adventurous teens, and yes I ticked-off Wembley as well but try as I might Wimbledon - actually had standard's to uphold,
so my grand-slam stadia dreams
dissipated in straight sets, before
I got anywhere near centre court... lol
