Round 3 – Haiku Bob – Covid footy

 

shortest day —
early goals
the difference

 

 

Covid footy —
tackles echo around
living rooms

 

 

winter solstice —
the sun within touching distance
of Howe

 

 

invisible enemy lingers —
De Goey appears
from nowhere

 

 

restrictions tightened —
nothing getting through
our back six

 

 

new hotspot —
a queue forms
in the Magpie forward line

 

 

confirmed case
of a false positive —
Saints ‘run’ ends at one

    Clever, clear and enjoyable, HB!

  2. John Butler says

    HB, your form matches your team’s. :)

  3. Less is more – concise, precise.

    Or, in more verbose terms, the TV commentators, in particular, could learn a lot from HB.

  4. Excellent.

    Love the word play.
