murky light —
the umpire sees a free
no-one can
old woman knitting —
our forward work
slowly comes together
rain starts —
Daisy comes
from the clouds
winter afternoon —
the torpedo punt
drops short
misty rain —
one goal blurs
into another
hundred points up —
the left footer
sweeps onto the right
July downpour —
the last line of defence
gives way
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, WE were listening to this from Keith to Dimboola. That was three hours. The haiku version of 18.4 seconds offers more.
Dave Graney set his song “Three dead passengers in a stolen scond hand ford” just south of Keith.
How ironic,,,,Keith is the original surname of Collingwood’s debutant from last Saturday, its just that up in Gympie where he hails from, they pronounce it Keefe!!
PS. If you are from or have any connection with Gympie, as Maxwell Smart would say – I hope I wasn’t outta line with that crack about Gympie. Having spent four years just down the road on the Sunny Coast there’s always a good natured crack or two about our neighbours in Gympie.
my parents were born, raised and married in gympie.
don’t know a lot about the town, but i know it has one of the better rsl clubs in the region.
Phew! My “Max apology in advance” comment was to avoid any Seinfeld “I had a Pony” controversy – fancy it coming full circle back to HB and Gypmie – I knew Haiku Dave was a Brisbanite but didn’t realise the golden thread extended up the Bruce Hwy to Gympie!!
