...or could it be, Psalms 66:11: "Thou broughtest us into the net"? Either way, I'm sure we are all flawed by faith in one way or another.

I like this thread

This has grown on me hophead. I wasn't sure about the shacking fists/shouting bit before but I very much liked "ambushed/ by that Judas nightfall" and "flaunting my bankrupt etiquette"

I looked up Psalms 66:11. I don't get the tennis connection but boy it's beautiful - especially 13-15

Psalm 66:11-20

New King James Version (NKJV)

11 You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
12 You have caused men to ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

13 I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats.

Just the "You brought us into the net;"...I know it's a stretch, a long, long stretch.

oh of course . Ignore me hophead, I seldom make sense or can make sense when I'm tired and I was tired at the time.

Hi Hophead,

I've read your poem a few times now. The way that both the rhythm and words (I nearly said 'lyrics') evoke the foggy ache of a sax is most enjoyable.

(PS: your sporty backhands and volleys are quite impressive also...)

Thank you, that is exactly what I was going for.

Hi Imaginary Friend

I've read your post a few times now. The way that both the rhythm and words (I nearly said "lyrics") evoke the foggy ache of sex is most enjoyable.

Dear Fishie,

I agree. Sex should always be enjoyable (and rhythmic too, if possible), since there's no fin to be had if it's not, is there?

...BTW I do enjoy being a member of the gentler sax, don't you?
