fear is this:
leading
with 3 quarters to go
umpires this
umpires that . . .
urinal chatter
Daicos misses –
still a God
I could believe in
beer earths me between goals
tangled branches
we wrestle back
the lead
waning moon –
our lead stretched
thin
less than a minute . . .
the crowd gasps
in unison

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.
My daughter Kate, who has Down Syndrome and stands at about 130cms, plays in a netball team. They’re all about the same height. I call them the Giants. So I was barracking for the Giants.
Sorry Haiku.
Hell of a game.
