Round 16 – Collingwood v West Coast Eagles: Haiku Bob – spark and sizzle

July 23, 2015 by 2 Comments

last days of winter ~
the veteran forward
tears a calf





decision time ~
Eagles moving
in waves





a chill
in the shadows ~
they sneak a goal






winter chill ~
the breath
of the high-flyers





how well we play
until we shoot
for goal





crisp evening ~
they answer our goal
without hesitation





spark and sizzle ~
our latest comeback
fails again

    How’s it going HB?

    I reckon the coach might be secretly pleased that the veteran forward tore a calf. The only question is: who is going to kick all of Collingwood’s points now?

    I think Jessie White has got that covered Dips.

    HB.
