Round 19 – ‘winter grin’: haiku bob

 

winter grin –
mouthguards
ear to ear

 

 

rainy night . . .
Murphy absorbs
every drop

 

 

another lead change
I open another
bottle of wine

 

 

deep into time-on –
the kick to win the game
bends with the crowd

 

 

watching her
watch Billy
kick the goal

 

 

downpour –
Adelaide Oval knee deep
in magpie song

 

 

the sort of win that lingers winter rain
