Haiku Bob – Round 15: incurable hope
July 5, 2017 by 3 Comments
taking my kid
to her first game –
sun and moon
crucial kick –
quiet enough in the stadium
to hear it
new glasses –
the same blemishes
in our forward line
we hit the front –
my incurable hope
resurfaces
what are we here for?
my daughter screams
“We’re in front!”
brilliant sunset –
the game losing
its appeal
defeat looms –
my daughter wears
my face

The Roughster
Riding the bumps with
A captain’s goal
Free kick Hawthorn still
Even now they are no good
It’s free kick Hawthorn
New glasses? Will we get a new photo?
The turnover in football managers in Eddie’s Empire seems to have crippled your list and your performance more than any sins of Nathan. Jamie Elliot is your best marking forward??
