North Carolina Haiku | The Boneyard

North Carolina Haiku

Connecticut wins
North Carolina loses
Count your syllables

Five, seven, and five
That's traditional haiku
It stokes the mojo

Coaches, players, fans
Preparing and performing
At their very best

It's very simple
We're here to support the team
One game at a time

Like a free throw drill
Practice makes sutomatic
Little things win games

Count your syllables
North Carolina loses
Connecticut wins

First time trying
I’ll be better next time
This is the*
Just corrected the professor ;)
First line is 5 sylls
Second line is 7 sylls
Third line is 5 sylls

"Sylls" means "syllables"
Haiku is 3 lines only
ALL posts in haiku

Haiku is rule-based
Discipline is strengthening
Modeled for players

Second "this" erred, but
neither fully wrong nor a
syllable error

Start low and go slow
When you are new to haiku
It is powerful

Thanks for the lesson
I appreciate
your persistence t'ward success
May others join you

Correcting haiku
And doing so in haiku
Is very stressful

I fear that I'll err
And as you noted, I do
I just want to help

100 per cent
Five, seven, five syllables
Is my only goal

Scolding & shaming
don't apply; education
is my ambition

100 per cent
free throw shooting is no less
my highest ideal

Your further effort
draws from Maya Angelou's
most helpful advice
