Round 19 – Haiku Bob: through the ages
six goals to nil
I wonder
what the hurry is
boundary line—
through the ages
Daicos
dwindling lead
I fill it
with beer
waning moon
a goal to them
cuts deeper
siren goes the ripple of movement in the crowd
Billy’s goal
the moment
you took my breath away
sunset
who on earth came up with an ending
