Haiku Bob – Round 20 – mothballs

 

mothballs ~
the moon disappears
behind a cloud

 

 

 

Pendlebury fumbles
it turns out
we are not alone

 

 

 

half-moon ~
again we hit the front
and fall behind again

 

 
missed goal ~
I run my fingers through
my bald head

 

 

 

48 years old ~
still wishing I could kick
like I wish they could kick

 

 

 

season over ~
all the flowers in the vase
dead

 

 

 

late winter
after the final siren
staring at nothing

  1. Superb HB. Running your fingers through your bald head. Sadly I know what that’s like.

    Ditto Dips. That’s why I take worry beads to every game. Nice one HB. 2016 looms as a big one for CFC. Can they rise to the expectations?
