Round 21 – Haiku Bob: winter comforts

 

 

 

first quarter moon
drinking in
the packed stadium

 

 

dripping
with winter rain—
the old grandstand

 

 

rain in the forecast goal for goal

 

 

rising moon
the outstretched hands
of the high-flyers

 

 

our noses in front
half of the moon’s face
lit up

 

 

winning streak continues…
down to my last
blood-pressure pill

 

 

winter comforts—
last night’s win
all day
