Haiku Bob – Round 2 – Long Way From Home

 

cicadas ~
the crowd reaches
fever pitch

 

 

Autumn begins ~
Pendlebury drifts forward
drifts back

 

 

no moon ~
our midfield
invisible

 

 
a great goal!
but we need
another

 

 

nothing in it ~
the cigarette
all but ash

 

 

remote pub ~
Darcy lines up the goals
a long way from home

 

 

swaying branches ~
the ruckman throws his leg
at the ball
