Round 14 – Haiku Bob: golden afternoon

 

a cherry blossom
flies into the sun —
Darcy Moore marks

 

 

 

dappled light —
the defender covers all angles
except Daicos

 

 

 

a fumbled bounce
leads to a goal —
the dog sits and stares

 

 

 

golden afternoon —
time slows down
around Pendles

 

 

 

stir crazy —
Adams in and out
of tackles

 

 

 

the spring sun
draws the mountains near —
Cox stands tall

 

 

 

setting sun —
the Blues distant
and smaller

    Hi Rob, I loved this. I’m a big fan of haiku anyway and this was a beautiful combination of image and action. Thank you!

  2. Thanks Nicole. Very kind – glad you enjoyed it.

    Rob.

  3. I reckon you have been in excellent haiku form this season, HB.

  4. Kevin Densley says

    Always good to have a haiku man “in the building”, so to speak, Bob!

  5. Nice one HB. The Blues did become smaller. They don’t quite believe. Yet. The Pies do and will be dangerous during that traditional finals month of October/November.

    I actually watched this game whilst drinking a Carrrrrlton Draught or two.

  6. Footy as a Monet woodcut.

  7. Thanks all.
    Smokie – Been doing this for 20 years. I should be in the prime of my career.
    Kevin – Someone’s gotta do it.
    Dips – it’s whisky all the way for me.
    Peter B – Aaah, spring.

    HB.
