Haiku Bob – Round 5: A Different Pitch

 

Anzac Day ~

walking to the ground focused

on what we don’t have

 

 

riding

the packed crowd

Autumn sun

 

 

8 goal quarter ~

only the sun

more fantastic

 

 

goal on debut ~

the crowd reaches

a different pitch

 

 

stirring up the crowd the umpire

 

 

Autumn afternoon ~

the crowd watches one side

give way

 

 

10 goals up

the win means nothing ~

Anzac Day

 

 

Anzac Day ~

still all the things

we can’t talk about

    Never seen it so succinctly explained. Maybe the best bit you’ve written Bob.
