Friday Night Football
florescent ump waits for TV cue
I slurp plastic beer
winter sounds
the umpire’s whistle
hooted down
winter chill
extra heat
in the first tackle
smiling moon
Leon rolls it
in the dew
cold winter night
so many goals
from mistakes
whichever way I look Swan
stadium empties
Fevola
gets his first
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.
HB – was that the most disappointing Pies/Blues clash of all time? Horrible game. Your haiku had a certain loneliness about it.
Dips
shocking game. and yes, i do tend towards trying to capture the mood. but it doesn’t matter how you do it against this mob. and the result dictates that i’m none the worse for it!
