Game Day Haiku UConn vs Providence

[HuskylnSC]

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

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


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


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


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


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
Huskies play tougher

Done. Thanks

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.

"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

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

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

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