Haiku Bob – Round 7: nature calls

May 9, 2019 by 4 Comments

 

 

nature calls

missing by moments

a much needed goal

 

 

 

 

goal fest –

almost seems alive

the opposition full-forward

 

 

 

 

 

a football match

wedged between parenting

and divorce

 

 

 

 

 

autumn colours

each goal a shade

different

 

 

 

 

 

the sound of a goal

being kicked

from an impossible angle

 

 

 

 

 

big lead

I lie to myself

that everything’s ok

 

 

 

 

 

after the win

my daughter promises to go to bed

again

    Hard yards
    The veteran retires
    Sorting draft picks

    thanks for these haiku
    lines on the door jamb of Life
    – marking our seasons.

    snapshots for us all
    as we look towards our goals
    – now and tomorrow
