inside the arc
half moon
just the one man
inside the arc
first chip out wide
I reach
for my beer
night dew
the world wobbles
on Swan’s kicking
moon-punched sky
Harry squirts a handball
through the hole
night dew heath streaks down the empty corridor
nerves on edge
the soothing powers
of Jack’s kicking
tails up Wellingham allows for a non-existent breeze
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 – do you take requests? Love to get your 3 lined insights into either G Ablett or J Selwood. It would obviously involve you watching hoops rather than stripes. Perhaps you could watch lying down?
Hey Bob,
wasn’t it great to see the Pies trust each other as team in the 3rd quarter and play free-flowing corridor footy. Maybe they weren’t following instructions.That was the best quarter of footy since the Geelong game last year.
thanks dips.
j selwood is possibly my most favourite player in the comp right now.
he is that rare commodity – equal parts silk and grit.
reminds me (or at least my pie-brain, as distinct from my pee-brain) of scott burns.
about whom i’ve penned quite a few over the years.
which i won’t share with you now.
let me take your question on notice.
just got to find some way of prising off this pie-ku hat.
cheers

phil,
agree.
from a coaching perspective, chocco might have actually won the night on points.
we still looked horribly inept against the zone.
and they pretty much shut down davis and pendlebury.
we won that game through 5-10 minutes of quick ball movement.
blokes taking risks.
and accurate kicking for goal.
the things we’re not known for.
and which have little to do with the coach.
still, it was great to have something to yell about.
