WVU Game Day Haiku

[storrsroars]

WVU
Is just an hour from my house
But will watch at home

Seems I have something
Could be the flu, or could be
A breakthrough virus

Two shots and booster
Already, but got a test
So quarantined now

Still, the thought of me
Infecting Morgantown is
Very enticing

I do still have taste
And can savor a UConn
Win in the chat room.

WVU
Is just an hour from my house
But will watch at home

Seems I have something
Could be the flu, or could be
A breakthrough virus

Two shots and booster
Already, but got a test
So quarantined now

Still, the thought of me
Infecting Morgantown is
Very enticing

I do still have taste
And can savor a UConn
Win in the chat room.

If you have Covid
Try hydroxychloroquine
I have heard good things

 

[DALTX]

Huskies and Hurley
Avoid pepperoni rolls,
Muzzle Mountaineers

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Huggy Bear will press
AJax, Samson might to foe
Mourning Morgantown

You took no chances
Arriving here first with an
elevated game

You inspired me
Looked up "Mouring Morgantown"
Couldn't find box scores

Albie played there twice
An 85-40 win
Avenged prior loss

 

[bendm]

Country road take me,
Back home to Connecticut,
West Va. hillbillies.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

To late now to fix
Mojo very important here
Haiku format only

But your second line
Has an extra syllable
Haiku is stressful

Sorry I messed up

So close yet so far
Only needed two more lines
But you are learning

Editing in time
Deserves some recognition
This year's big challenge

Thanks Jake TheDog oops
Original poster is like
What the hell mojo

You did it again
That pesky line 2 is 8
Haiku is stressful

 

[JSB60]

Tonight might be tough
But we’re in the Big East now
And they are still out

 

[RichZ]

I'm not sure why but
Huggs reminds me of Violent
J from ICP

Middle line too long
by one syllable, please fix
So Huskies can win

Mojo critical
in an unfriendly venue
Just good haiku please!

 

[QuickDraw]

tough test on the road
pass this and we'll be on high
we wonder no more

 

[Husky Alien]

But your second line
Has an extra syllable
Haiku is stressful

You did it again
That pesky line 2 is 8
Haiku is stressful

Haiku today is
Making me so angry need
A shot of something

 

[storrsroars]

If you have Covid
Try hydroxychloroquine
I have heard good things

That comment is so
Twenty twenty. I'm going
Ivermectin, dude.

 

[Kolumbo]

Mountaineers who dey?
Used to play in Great Big East
Now they get no play

Morgantown, let's go
Huskies winning there is same
As Winning at home

 

[DALTX]

Country road take me,
Back home to Connecticut,
West Va. hillbillies.

Must be "Va" as in
va va land; not V-A as
in V-A. <mojo>

 

[Get a Job]

Middle line too long
by one syllable, please fix
So Huskies can win

Mojo critical
in an unfriendly venue
Just good haiku please!

You pronounce the O
as a sep'rate syllable?
Not me, amigo!

 

[OkaForPrez]

Remember Hilton
Giving these guys the Finger?
Point nought four units.

 

[jayteeman]

The Dog will find out
They are who we thought they were!!
Just a hill of beans

Mojo critical

Just good haiku please!

Those 'judgment call' words
Can really be vexatious
Hour, fire, violent, more

To some, it could be
"Ow-er," "fi-er," "vi-o-lent"
No easy answers

I avoid their use,
hyphenate, apostrophize
Haiku is stressful

Constant vigilance
is the price of freedom, and
still there are 'issues'

Faster-playing teams
Often have more turnovers
How to find balance?

Let's count, check, and care
Band together as a team
And show compassion

In classic haiku
Tranquil images abound
Here, not so easy

It is December
We're on a season-long arc
Tonight's a big test

With each haiku post
I fear that I've made mistakes
We need each other

We all play our part
The coaches, players, and fans
Building t'ward greatness

Let's pull together
And win our first true road game
Go UConn Huskies!

My final 'review'?
3 (since-corrected) errors
And I changed to "t'ward"

And still I wonder
Have I missed any, or some?
Help me out if so

 

[NowInStorrs]

Use your mountain ears
Cause here come the Mountaineers
They will lose, you hear?

 

[awfuldan]

What I want to see?
A new Whaley career high
Get me 20, Wrench

 

[Doctor Hoop]

But your second line
Has an extra syllable

That pesky line 2 is 8
Haiku is stressful

Hans surveys haikus
As a wolf watches the sheep
Don't let your count fail!

 

[DALTX]

Mountaineers mind Cole
Coal Miners are mountaineers
Coal miners mind Cole

 

[Kolumbo]

The 'Neers were our peers
But they went to the big 12
the "new AAC"

what do women-neers
in order to attract men
put behind their ears?

 

[Umami Zen]

Court in session
Huggins gonna be pressin'
No need for stressin'

 

[HuskyCLT]

Huskies are licking
Their chops to feast on prey in
Old Appalachia

Mountaineers crawl back
To their holler after an
Easy UConn win
