Northwestern Haiku

[Uconn77Duke74]

This was the Mojo
That got us through to game Two
Let's try it again!

 

[RedDog]

Northwestern up next.
They’re from the Windy City.
Let’s blow them away.

 

[61cygni]

Northswestern purple
The color of royalty
They're royally screwed

 

[controlfade]

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

 

[Yardigan]

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

This is no haiku
What is the matter with you?
Mojo agnostic?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Barclay’s in Brooklyn
Where we massacre the cats
One game at a time


Step two of six on
Our quest to win a trophy
We finish Brooklyn


Whether Bai or beer
We will drink to help the cause
More free range mojo


Sydney Sweeney, our
Adopted Mojo princess
Joins our hallowed cast

Taylor Swift may help
Add some mojo to the cause
There are many paths


Northwestern cannot
Survive the Husky onslaught
More free range mojo


Our retired judge
Deepster is the one true Stooge
Judge Uncle Junior

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Haiku number two?
Are we playing with fire?
I sure hope this works.

I will add a few
Haikus from the other thread
Just to play it safe

Whether Bai or beer
We will drink to help the cause
More free range mojo

Sydney Sweeney, our
Adopted Mojo princess
Joins our hallowed cast

Our retired judge
Deepster is the one true Stooge
Judge Uncle Junior

 

[QuickDraw]

team is sharp today
win this one going away
Boston on our way

tru tv sucks bass
late start time is no better
no matter we win

take care of the ball
make them chase to no avail
statement game today

 

[mussels]

They live near Depaul
where basketball goes to die
its in the air there

Huskies live in Storrs
healthy bodies and strong bones
from the dairy bar

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I'm up for debate:
Formative game with nephews,
or comfort of home?

 

[Bomber36]

This is no haiku
What is the matter with you?
Mojo agnostic?

You tell them Yardi
He doesn’t have a darn clue
I made that mistake

 

[Samoo]

Wildcats are felines
Huskies are big hungry dogs
We know what happens

 

[FfldCntyFan]

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

Hello Controlfade
Please take my below attempt
to fix your error

________________


It's going to be
A long day to spend waiting
Eight PM tipoff

 

[Bomber36]

Northwestern will weep
When we hit so many threes
They leave scarred for life

 

[RedStickHusky]

School known for drama...
Not today windy city;
And that's not pizza.

 

[drayenob]

Kenpom thirty eight
You'll bow down to kenpom one
On to sweet sixteen

 

[Samoo]

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

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

 

[UCTitleTown]

NorthSwestern will prove
That a directional school
Can't beat the Huskies

 

[Vowelguy]

Those pasty white boys
Really need Florida sun
Not a Boston trip

 

[Vowelguy]

The Boneyard Haiku:
Best literary journal
On the Internet

 

[Kolumbo]

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'

 

[Vowelguy]

It is bad mojo
To have 2 haiku threads, oy !
Mods fix this stat please

 

[storrsroars]

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.)

 

[DALTX]

Northwestern midwest
Geographically challenged.
Northeast Huskies win!

 

[J187Money]

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

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

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
