pre-match
the stars appear
one at a time
outgoing sky
Daicos
sparkles
no sound at the ‘G
except stunned silence
stretcher called
half-time deficit
my worries reach the bar
before me
sweaty moon
no one can land a finger
on Pendlebury
still finishing my sentences Daicos
morning after
the light still on
inside

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.
Enjoyed reading these very much, especially the first and last haiku.
Thanks Myron.
Every once in a while I try to infuse the beer and skittles with the real McCoy :)
Cheers,
HB.
