sunset sky
the sound of cheering
for the other team
passing clouds
now and then lifting my head
to see Cloke take a mark
winter winds
the noise the stadium makes
when we hit the front
winter equinox
this game
could go either way
winter sun
barely visible
Jessie quiet again
shortest day
the giant ruckman
can’t get going
darkness spills –
fans crowd
the exits
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.
As a neutral I enjoyed watching Saturday’s game (too wet for golf in Perth). At least I now understand the origin of “a big Jessie”.
