POLO
A poem by Sue Sally Hale

Man, Line, Ball
Live by the Rules and you won't Fall!

Dash and Dart, Hurry and Scurry
Players and Horses all together in a Flurry

Whistle here, Penalty Shot there
The little white Ball flies through the air

Hooves and Mallets, Turf and Sky
Bypass life's cares, as Time goes by

Total Exertion, the Ultimate High
A true test of Self, The why for which over and over we try

Sometimes unique, yet in the same breathe quite bleak
This game we play also out of which a living we eek

What would life be if Polo we didn't play?
This game about Life called "Giants to Slay"

For this we struggle, laugh and pray,
Hoping to live long enough to Play and Play

The Ultimate goal in which to believe
Is to pass from this Life out where we achieve

On the field of Honor, that's covered with grass
On top of a Horse with a Ball to Thrash

This poem written by Sue Sally Hale and permission has been granted for Polo

Players to post it for others to read.
T

his poem received Honorable Mention from the Society International Poetry -

2000 President's Literary Excellence Award - 2001 from the National Registry of Authors.

Many Thanks to Sue Sally for sharing this with all of us.
