Haiku Bob – Round 4 – Out of Sorts

 

 

out of sorts ~

the coach takes aim

at his critics

 

 

 

 

season already over ~

I tweak

my CV

 

 

 

 

pre-game huddle ~

the players who look better

than they are

 

 

 

 

gaping holes

in the middle of the ground

I spit out apple seeds

 

 

 

 

goal for goal

my hope comes

and goes

 

 

 

 

outgoing tide ~

the opposition

pulls away

 

 

 

 

Autumn dusk ~

all the color

behind one of the goals

 

 

 

 

after the defeat ~

we chat about things

that don’t matter
