Round 11 – Collingwood v Port Adelaide – Haiku Bob: Anchored in the backline
Anchored in the backline
grey day ~
the colours of the magpie
blur
the rain falls
as I watch Jessie White
miss another goal
scattered showers ~
our players everywhere
they shouldn’t be
wet afternoon ~
we continue our tumble
down the ladder
winter rain ~
the ball anchored
in the back line
after rain ~
our team making
no impression
heavy defeat ~
in the recycling
news of last week’s win
