Game Cancelation Haiku

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Might as well try it
Ev'rybody's invited
Five, seven, then five

Kind of a teach-in
For Japanese tradition
Five, seven, then five

Three-line poetry
The syllable count is key
Five, seven, then five

Some words are trouble
Is "idea" two or three?
How 'bout "requires?"

Trying to decide?
Subvocalizing can help
Apostrophes too

Comments? Corrections?
Write them in haiku as well
Do it for mojo

Perfect day to start
Do it today for practice
Ready for Game Day

Count before posting
Be open to corrections
We all make mistakes

It's a team effort
Better working together
Not criticizing

Today forking sux
Make lemonade from lemons
Learn and play haiku

 

[XLCenterFan]

Woke up to the news
of my day's activity
canceled. What to do?

 

[XLCenterFan]

Some words are trouble
Is "idea" two or three?
How 'bout "requires?"

I laughed out loud. Good one Hans!

Season in peril
Baseball figured it out though
Changes are needed

Bubbles for conference
Limit the travel for teams
UConn wins it all

 

[mussels]

A haiku teach in
instead of watching the game
screams twenty twenty

 

[formerlurker]

Today's plan is drink.
Maybe a little self love.
Then rinse and repeat.

Haiku one, line one
Eliminate the word "The"
Optional: "Season's"

Apostrophe tip:
"Con'frence" makes it clearly two
And not maybe three

Then rinse and repeat.

"rinse and repeat," eh?
Got a better metaphor?
Seems too literal

 

[bendm]

Big East bubble-ville
looser testing protocols
save the season please

 

[Mano]

Today's plan is drink.
Maybe a little self love.
Then rinse and repeat.

For the sake of those
Around you, please use soap and
Lather up as well

A Ferrari roars
Muffled by the garage and
F Julius Hodge

 

[Austin316]

Like Christmas morning
But Santa Claus didn’t come
Still have to shovel...

Yeah I deleted the word The as you were responding

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Online tutoring
Moved to clear time for UConn:
but that was canceled.

So, instead of that
I'll be distracting myself
while tutoring math.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Yeah I deleted the word The as you were responding

How 'bout "conference?"
It still is ambiguous
"Con'frence" could work though.

"Deleted word 'the'
After I saw it was six
Our messages crossed"

That's an example
Of a Comment in haiku
Obsessive? For sure

Real Game Day Haiku
Intends to stoke the mojo
Obsessiveness counts

This is just practice
On a cancelation day
That's also rainy

Maybe dry enough
To go outside in nature
Get some exercise

 

[UCFan1513]

Annihilated
Basketball season has been
Annihilated

So, instead of that
I'll be distracting myself
during my side gig.

All of the well used candles immediately made wonder what else happens on top of that desk. Good for you!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

All of the well used candles immediately made wonder what else happens on top of that desk. Good for you!

In addition to
teaching art, my wife owns a
business selling art,

homemade candles and
other various things that
smell pretty darn good.

 

[Adios]

NESCAC and Ivies,
Why do you have to exist?
We are entitled.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Checking on tipoff
I discovered shocking news
Alas, what to do?

There is no joy in
Storrs or Raleigh, alas, the
Wolfpack has struck out,

 

[UCLJ0211]

UConn game canceled
So I got suckered into
Cleaning all day long

 

[Leebo]

試合なし
落ち葉のごとく
失せりけり

shiai nashi
ochiba no gotoku
userikeri

The game is no more
Just like leaves from Autumn trees
There is nothing left

 

[RichZ]

How 'bout "conference?"
It still is ambiguous
"Con'frence" could work though.

league play is better
than conference with its 3
and it says same thing

 

[RichZ]

tried to watch round ball
hated all the teams because
they playin, we're not.

 

[wheelerdog]

An endless journey
Please no more cancellations
Winter is coming

 

[storrsroars]

Beer vodka tonic
Beer rusty nail two red wines
What's after dinner?

試合なし
落ち葉のごとく
失せりけり

shiai nashi
ochiba no gotoku
userikeri

The game is no more
Just like leaves from Autumn trees
There is nothing left

So good



Quietly working
the poet leaves his mark on
the present moment

See me, hear me, so,
that I might touch your kind heart
breathe with me your Life

 

[TheChamps990411]

Im over this year
It just absolutely stinks!
So tired of its stench

 

[mussels]

The game is no more
Just like leaves from Autumn trees
There is nothing left

As once has been said
I know it when I see it
this is good haiku
