Sheboygan Poet Laureate Poem-A-Day 2026: May 13: Pitcher by Robert FrancisAdded:
Good morning, Sheboygan.
This is pitcher by Robert Francis.
His art is eccentricity. His aim, how not to hit the mark he seems to aim at.
His passion, how to avoid the obvious.
His technique, how to vary the avoidance.
The others throw to be comprehended. He throws to be a moment misunderstood, yet not too much. Not errant, errant, wild, but every seeming aberration willed. Not to, yet still still to communicate, making the batter understand too late.
