Haiku Bob – Round 12: Chasing shadows
Queen’s Birthday holiday ~
no one home
at full forward
another missed chance
leads to a goal ~
burning the candle
at both ends
winter haze ~
making all the right moves
in my head
winter gloom ~
struggling to see
where the next goal will come
winter rain ~
all the tackles noticeably
softer
floodlights on ~
the whole team now
chasing shadows
after the loss
the club theme song
on someone’s ringtone
