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
Congratulations! :)
I think you hold the record
for longest haiku

Hans surveys haikus
As a wolf watches the sheep
Don't let your count fail!
My preferred image:
Mama bear protecting cubs
Nothing punitive

(More stressful than fun)
You do hardwood excellence;
I stoke the mojo

Many more poets
And small editing window
Make this season hard

I give it my best
Prescribing 5, 7, 5
Accepting results

Congratulations! :)
I think you hold the record
for longest haiku
I wrote 70
for my "big sister's" birthday
when she turned that age

Ev'rything I know
I learned from Game Day Haiku
with Boneyard teammates
