another crushing loss
the child in my child
disappearing
autumn…
a Sherrin joins
the night sky
round one
packed house music
to my ears
sultry night…
Pendlebury slows down
everything
night sounds –
the baying crowd
ripples the stadium
a kick to tie the game equinox
dead leaves –
remnants of last year
linger
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.
Pressure cooker –
the hunter swoops
HAWKINS!!!
‘Crushing loss.’ Ain’t that the truth Haiku Bob. 6 months to get over the GF, only to lose exactly the same way in Round 1.
Magpies
And old habits
Returning to their nest
Eagles caught
In reflected sun
Vulnerable to prey
When asked as to when
Sagrada Familia
would be completed,
Architect, Gaudi,
said that his client was not
in such a hurry.
Like that grand old church,
perhaps, too, our loyalties:
– unfinishable …
Aaahhhhhhhh 5-7-5…
they sure were the good ‘ol days
it counts for nothing
about Gaudi though
now there’s a guy who could’ve
played for Collingwood
