season ends
a cherry petal falls
down to earth
and yet
the year began
with such hope
spring buds
how childish to think
we had it in us
Hawthorn
make us remember
how good we were
last quarter
until they find him there
the full-forward
nothing riding on it finally he nails one
final siren I let go
last game defeat
the old champ
who did everything hard
season ending loss
we talk about
the weather
About rob scott
Rob Scott (aka Haiku Bob) is a peripatetic haiku poet who calls Victoria Park home. He writes haiku in between teaching whisky and drinking English, or something like that.
Eagles and Magpies alike without a feather to bless themselves. Still some of the young fledglings look like they could take flight next autumn.
Any chance of some finals haikus HB, or does the Haiku die with the Maggies for this season? Not a question we have had to ask for a while.
Love it Rob
Its’s only 9.30 in the morning and I’ve had three weather conversations already.
Don’t fly off yet, always enjoy your pieces.
cheers
Very well done as always HB – I too hope you stick around for the finals.
thanks guys,
not making any promises (you might have to wait for the book).
and kate, if ever I get off my arse and make a book of these, I’ll need some drawings. yours are just perfect.
cheers,
HB.
