winter afternoon
everything but the crowd
silent
a leaf twirls
Bobby Hill dances
and goals
sunny outer
players hug
the boundary line
as the crow flies nick daicos
winter sun
gnarly shadows snatch
at Daicos
waxing moon
we increase the lead
by a point
somewhere between
one Daicos and the next
I have become old

Marvellous Haiku Bob. My wife (an Essendon supporter) and my sister in law a Collingwood supporter both loved it, as I did.

Just magnificent HB, congratulations, some fine writing
I loved this – and yes, the twiring leaves and dancing Bobby Hill, and how to grow old Daicosly, just terrific. Thanks!
