first magnolias
the bad news
can wait
cooling pies saving ourselves for later
late season slump
the pick-up pills
not working
cold snap
the sudden fragility

Hawks smashing us . . .
trying to distance myself
from my old self
night chill —
next to the injured player
another injured player
hobbling
to the exit
I’m an old man now

About rob scott
Rob Scott (aka Haiku Bob) is a peripatetic haiku poet who calls Victoria Park home. He writes haiku in between teaching whisky and drinking English, or something like that.
Excellent HB. My view was a little more upbeat. Carn the Hawks!
Surely ‘that C word’ isn’t coming into play already, is it?
‘trying to distance myself / from my old self”
A wonderful line, HB.
