Northwestern Haiku

[Hans Sprungfeld]

In their Wildest Dreams
Northwestern sees Daylight to
An Enchanted win.

But Karma says no
UConn is Bejeweled not with
Paper Rings but gold.

They know All Too Well
That UConn's Fearless, Gorgeous
Style is just too much.

They can't Shake It Off
So a Cruel Summer awaits.
"Is It Over Now?"

(For the record, I
Don't know a single one of
These songs. Just mojo.)

It works as haiku
(Even your explanation)
Song titles all real

Anticipation
It's keeping me wai-aiting*
Lady songwriters

Bringing the mojo
I love them all, voices pure
Like the driven snow

Survive & Advance
These are days you'll remember
Husky Maniacs

I stay out too late
Cause the players gonna play
Huskies keep winnin'

Carly to Taylor
With Natalie sandwiched in
Hunger Games song too?

Where is @Deepster
To address this travesty
Sleeping on the job

Irrelevant here
Maybe still at Sunday brunch
with bottomless Bais?

And about the @:
Counted syllable or not?
Unsettled question

Northwestern midwest
Geographically challenged.
Northeast Huskies win!

I'm warming up here
Commenting on Liked haikus
Arguably right

An observation
Ge-o-graph-i-cal-ly, or
Ge-o-graph-ic-ly

Could go either way
Technical? Colloquial?
Both have their merits

Gonna be a long day waiting till 8pm for this game

Yardigan said it
Bomber36 echoed
You can still make good

In the haiku thread
All entries are in haiku
Even side comments

Apologies? Yep
Explanations? Yep, them too
Corrections? Most def!

You are invited
To write in 5-7-5
Traditional form

3 separate lines
5 syllables in first line
7 next, then 5

Count each entry here
And you'll see that it is true
Come join in the fun

Creativity
Submitting to discipline
In service to team

Bomber36
Persisted in the process
And now stokes mojo

FfldCntyFan
Provided an example
That stated your point

Best would be to write
A single, simple haiku
Before tipoff time

 

[huskyjawz]

Perfect six and oh
The mighty Big East Con-frence
After Husky rout!

 

[jayteeman]

Wildcats will find out
Huskies have all the answers
And you have nothing

 

[Doctor Hoop]

No, not Kentucky
Nor ‘Nova, nor UNH
Too many to count

Wildcats aplenty
All over the sports landscape
Do we need them all?

Northwestern also
Is known by that moniker
Make them feel regret

Embrace a new name
They will soon be: ‘Rented Mules’,
As in, ‘beaten like’

 

[Chosen]

Round two arrived
If we play our game we know
UConn will win it

 

[BlueHen]

Northwestern plays well
but they won't win tonight
back to class Monday

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Tristen Newton game
A real All-American
Buie gets boo-boos

 

[Hunt for 7]

Here comes Northwestern
A Goliath they have slain
Purdue ain’t UConn

 

[Hunt for 7]

Gonna be a long day waiting till 8pm for this game

The Jurrrrdge is passe
We have coaching and mad skills
Mojo comes from Dan

The angry reply
Was mistakenly posted
My apology

Mojo very real
Must make amends and respond
To keep the feeling

 

[J187Money]

The angry reply
Was mistakenly posted
My apology

Mojo very real
Must make amends and respond
To keep the feeling

Mojo is the best
Makers Muppet is a god
Stop trying too hard

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Round two arrived
If we play our game we know
UConn will win it

Ethiopian
explanation for line one
seems most unlikely

Perhaps a re-write
Or an all new offering
Prior to tip-off?

Northwestern plays well
but they won't win tonight
back to class Monday

No way for me to
get line 2 to reach seven.
Re-write with "will not"?

 

[BGesus4]

I am drinking piss
Adama ran everywhere
Isaiah Whaley

 

[6in25]

Northwestern Mildcats
No match for hungry Huskies
Boston bound we are

Bravo!

 

[storrsroars]

Your 9:01 post
Was anti-mojo. NU
Won the second half.

A wise judge would know
That the haiku thread is a
Sacred for those here

So why tempt fate and
Anger the mojo gods with
Improper haiku?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

It appears to me
That Deepster destroyed mojo
He must fix his thoughts

 

[RedStickHusky]

Bravo!

Would be guardian
Ought to be more self-aware.
Enforce not follow?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

He can hide from me
by Ignoring me. But, can
he write haiku? No

Too lazy to try?
Too clueless about this thread?
Call It What You Want

Ignoring is he?
Classic case of blind justice;
To judge one should see.
