game day haiku

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I once wrote a game day haiku
But the stanzas were somewhat askew
I went to the dojo
To learn of the mojo
@XLCenterFan hasn’t a clue.

A canny entry
Though clearly it's not haiku
What to make of it?

Methinks it's misplaced
in a Game Day Haiku thread
and could hurt mojo

An alternative:
Perhaps a lim-er-ick thread?
alt-mojo-stoker

Nothing now's easy
Competition gets harder
And stakes are higher

And oh, by the way,
I fixed your effort's cadence
To give it more zing

I'm still against it
Anything that's not haiku
Belongs somewhere else

 

[ZenConn]

Haikus and mojo
All part of this ritual
Wings and Rolling Rock.

I awoke today
A pink turtle on my bed
Left by my daughter

Co-incidence NOT
Fed to my dog to destroy
Like Huskies will Terps

 

[JakeTheDog]

Steve Blake's three-pointer
Still pains me so; Let us get
Revenge for Caron

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Forget about why...
Out of con-fer-ence, this team
is undefeated

When was the last time?
National Championship
Twenty eleven

And when before that?
National Championship
Nineteen ninety-nine

It has happened twice:
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
Let's do it again

 

[Samoo]

Back where we belong
Let's take this ship for a ride
Good things will happen

This is not haiku.
So take your trash talk elsewhere.
You’re an idiot.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Thank you Hans Sprungfeld,
Appreciate your comments,
Haikus are tricky.

But seriously,
Swing back to post number one
Edit out that line

It's a mojo thing
To clean up haiku errors
The gods will thank you

Your soul will feel good
And coaches and players both
Will perform better

Hurley back in dance
Huskies clamp crab eatin' 'pins
Rudy says hello

You’re an idiot.

Don't listen to this
Message board gas bag alert
So much weirdness here

You, him, ev'ryone
Is it checkers, chess, or Go?
In what dimension?

A day of chaos
The oddest day one ever
Eye of the tiger

Time to walk the beach
Step away from the madness
Clear head for later

 

[XLCenterFan]

Golf in the morning.
And golf in the afternoon.
Ready for showtime.

The wait is over.
We are back where we belong.
U-C-O-N-N!

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Hurley back in dance
Huskies clamp crab eatin' 'pins
Rudy says hello

Welcome, once again
You arrive later than most
With solid haiku

This is what we need
Like defensive stops, free throws,
And no turnovers

To close out close games
UConn's winning formula
Has always served well

 

[Umami Zen]

Terps are red-Not green
Red Danny-Will not be seen
Blue or white-Looks clean

Shut your mouth gasbag
Nobody listens to you
Or cares what you say

David seven six
please review and fix line three
in post eleven

Internet tough talk.
You would not dare in real life.
In real life? Victim.

 

[Dove]

Break out the sleds, 'skies!!
Mushing in March has returned!!
Still, don't touch your face.

There are no victims
Volunteers, violators,
message board gas bags

 

[TheChamps990411]

Lets just win the game
and get to the second round
i hate the first round.

Boneyard oddity
Affected punctuation
Poor toilet training?

James Bouknight is primed
Len Bias is not playing
Let’s have turtle soup

Hyphenate the word
Mucho commas -Quite absurd
Prefer -I have heard

Hyphenate the word
Mucho commas -Quite absurd
Prefer -I have heard

Weird and disjointed
Pretentious, without a point
Really makes no sense

It looks silly too
And has no consistency
Detracts from message

Commas have purpose
Same for periods, colons,
and semi-colons.

Exclamation points,
parantheses, question marks,
and hyphens do too.

Yours offer nothing
Except to say, "I am me,
because I do this."

They confuse readers
Without entertaining them
Clif makes much more sense

Too late to stop now?
Afraid of being boring?
You gotta be you?

"You be you; others
are all already taken"
- Oscar Wilde, sorta

Over thinking this
Sometimes ignorance is bliss
Swing and miss on "diss"

Huskies are hungry
Turtle soup is for dinner
Eat 'em up, big dogs!
