Game Day Haiku UConn vs Providence

[ZenConn]

Hope to see Bouknight
Bouk versus Duke would be great
When Bouk wins this one.

Normally write one
Because of this booger vid
I need to write more

So this booger vid
Is so upsetting and gross
Damn to you Boeheim!

 

[QDOG5]

Second line is tough
Can be read as 5 or 8
7 is a stretc

Let's turn up the heat
Friar, friar, shorts on fire
Extinguish P C

Merriam Webster
Friar is two syllables
Fire one certainly

 

[TerryBoyz]

I’m such a boomer
An old song to reference
Listen for yourself

 

[ClifSpliffy]

(not) sitting in the
stands of the sports arena.
wait! show to begin!

Red lights, green lights, straw-
berry wine, a good friend of
mine, follows the stars.

Venus, Mars right to-
nite. Venus and Mars are all
right tonight. rockshow.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Time to avoid
The NCAA bubble
Step 1 Beat Prov

Line 1 & line 3
Need to be 5 syllables
Please change before game

Tired of the gamemanship! Is Book in lineup or not!

What the hell is this?
And why in the haiku thread?
5-7-5, man

"Tired of gamesmanship!
Is Bouk in lineup or not?!
Tell me now, Hurley!"

Good monitoring
Kudos for count & correct
But one small quibble

Your first word's tricky
Can be read as 1 or 2
I just avoid it

Let's turn up the heat
Friar, friar, shorts on fire
Extinguish P C

As did Get a Job
You've chosen a tricky word
To end your line two

When Castaways sing
It sounds like 1 syllable
With Billy Joel, 2

Second line is tough
Can be read as 5 or 8
7 is a stretch

Great way to put it
Applies on Castaways' song
Come to think of it

Merriam Webster
Friar is two syllables
Fire one certainly

Interesting source
Should the mojo be risked by
ambiguity?

Not mine to decide
Game Day Haiku is teamwork
We all play our part

---------

As to today's game
Our New England Big East foe
Always plays us tough

With many options
There are many ways to win
To start: play tougher

Double U Tee F?!
5-7-5-5 don't work!
Who watches watchers?

Double U Tee F?!
5-7-5-5 don't work!
Who watches watchers?

Looks like you watched me
My edits weren't saved in time
Post, count, edit, save

Thanks for your concern
Haiku is a brotherhood
Sisters welcome too

Done. Thanks

Nice to see you care
Further recommendation:
"Done. Thanks" in haiku

Yes, it's extra work
Like diving for the loose ball
It's the little things

 

[QDOG5]

Spirit of haiku
Syllables are important
Indeed mine correct

Can admit when wrong
Haiku a poem not song
Problem is diphthong

 

[XLCenterFan]

Another game I
would be at, but then covid.
Would have been so fun.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Spirit of haiku
Syllables are important
Indeed mine correct

Can admit when wrong
Haiku a poem not song
Problem is diphthong

"Arguably right"
Can add up to "It's correct
but ambiguous"

You surely aren't wrong
But you surely confused some
And they weren't wrong too

[HuskyHawk]

4 o'clock and all's well
Huskies arrive at Dunkin
To do some dunking

 

[jayteeman]

Why hit Bouk on head
Because you are a Friar?
It is just flesh wound

 

[Dove]

Open Bouk test night!
An exam on beat downs, too!
Ed won't touch his hat!!

 

[David 76]

Left my work early
Adolescents scream in pain.
Gotta understand

 

[David 76]

Cole haters gotta
Shut up he is keeping us
In the freakin game

 

[DALTX]

If Jordan went to
Providence, would his sneakers
Be called Air Fryers?
