first bounce of the Sherrin
a rush of blood
in my heart
Easter Sunday –
Cloke from dead in front
Jesus!!
twilight game
the search for gaps
in the shadows
clash of heads –
the sun slides off
the stadium roof
Easter weekend –
Holy crap!
What a mark!
Easter Sunday –
we start the last
one man down
afterglow –
the game ends
with a one-hander

Good to see you AND the Pies on song in Round 1, HB.
Did you watch it “live”?
Love the Easter references HB. When reading, I inserted my own comma after the word “dead” in the second verse.
HB,
This is the first time I’ve read the phrase ‘holy crap’ in a haiku.
Terrific.
Looking forward to the Round 2 haiku.
Even within the structure of a haiku, there are plenty of one-syllable words that can be used to describe Mick Madhouse.
PF
MOC – yes. Sweden is a land full of streams and I always manage to find the dodgy ones.
Flynny – re madhouse, psychopathic egomaniac are not two of them.
and one for you:
Easter Monday –
the gathered assembly
in praise of Pod
HB.
Super stuff HB!
Let’s hope you are still painting similar pictures of the Pies deep into September.
