Once more I stepped onto the croquet lawn,
But this time it was so different,
As there with me was my loved one,
I had brought her with me
To show her croquet,
My drug of choice.
She picked up a mallet
And I showed her how to hit the ball,
In a short while she was hitting well,
So we had a game.
Around the lawn we went
Putting the balls through the hoops.
Then we played against another pair
And we won.
We finished for the day
And on reaching home
She said
“That was good,
When can I go again!”
She was hooked,
Hooked on the game,
The game that had saved my life,
Saved my life when my loved one had been taken,
Been taken from me those years ago.

Croquet indeed is a very addicting game
Testing your patience
But felt so light hearted reading your account
Every moment spent with lover turns fun
Awaiting to read more from pink, fluttery magical wand of yours
Croquet certainly is an addictive game and now it is even better knowing that my new love enjoys it as well, thank you spilleronsheet.

Andy, this is a special treat. I read your poem and thought, this is good. Something I would do with my wife. Be blessed!
So kind rr, it certainly is a game you could both play and thoroughly enjoy.
Andy
Croquet is such a fun pastime. Lovely to see the way it uplifted you through the lonesome days and the days of romantic unity! 💖
