Round 2 – Haiku Bob – life is simple

 

grudge match —
I pick up the kid
from outside her mum’s

 

autumn night —
the half-filled stadium
sounds full

 

autumn sunset —
a purple patch takes us
into the lead

 

twilight —
a magpie’s shadow
looms large

 

life is simple
just give it
to Daicos

 

the indescribable path
of a falling leaf —
goal from the boundary

 

leaving the stadium
the moon still
there

    Strange – but I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of this poem even more after this week’s game. Thank goodness for last week.
