second half comeback
the way she turns me on
and off
losing again –
but check out all
our sponsors
seven goals down –
how they prepared Dad’s body
for viewing
half-time deficit –
the temptation
to leave
clouds disappear
the way the game
opens up
within range –
the crowd looks up
from their smartphones
clinging to the lead –
the difference between
love and hate

Bob,
walking back to the tram, I was wondering what your take on the two halves would be? Doubled the haiku I see.

Not literally, just two halves. I think you know what I mean.

The whole idea that a comeback is a remarkable thing has always puzzled me. If one team can get 7 goals up in a half then, mathematically, the other team can reduce the lead by at least the same amount in the next half. So why do we go on about comebacks being “great”?
Thanks Steve. Good to know someone ‘s thinking of me
Dips – I think it’s got to do with momentum and the forces at work that contribute to changing its direction. You know, science and stuff like that.
