Xavier Haiku

[Kolumbo]

Argh X marks the spot
best college hoops in Cinci
never been myself

Quincy can score points
But tonight he will, on X,
examine the corpse

Big East Basketball
Show Ohio how it's played
UConn Huskies Win!

 

[storrsroars]

I'm not seeing it
That doesn't mean I'm not wrong
I just don't see it

What am I missing?
You read line three as seven?
Con-fer-ence, con-frence

Point is, "road wins are gold" is already 4 syllables, and you can't make "conference" one.

 

[Dove]

X-men flop again
but not at the box office
Conference road wins are gold

My opinion, eh!!
But that word "conference" is still...
two syllables, man.

 

[GampelGladiator]

On way to repeat
The Musketeers we shall beat
For Luke’s dad a treat

 

[Waquoit]

My opinion, eh!!
But that word "conference" is still...
two syllables, man.

I have easy fix
for this. Put apostrophe
in front of word 'frence.

 

[jayteeman]

There is no savior
For the one called Xavier
Just misbehavior

 

[storrsroars]

Point is, "road wins are gold" is already 4 syllables, and you can't make "conference" one.

Ah crap, I failed here
Not putting reply in haiku
Just to prove Hans wrong

Point is, "road wins are
gold" is four syllables and
conference ain't one*

*Syllable Count says
The word is three syllables
Con-fer-ence. OK?

 

[DALTX]

Huskies over that
team X that goes to Skyline
chili on date night

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Point is, "road wins are gold" is already 4 syllables, and you can't make "conference" one.

I'm not gonna look
But maybe I meant to quote
A diff'rent haiku

You're totally right
Enough so that I don't care
Yours wasn't haiku

Ah crap, I failed here
Not putting reply in haiku
Just to prove Hans wrong

Just to prove me wrong?
Dubious motivation
Produced line two muff

Seeing my mistake
Puzzled, humbled, and amused
All in a good way

We're on the same team
And all imperfect beings
Working together

Other two were fine
And kudos for slick use of
Syllable finder

 

[bluestreak]

I'm feeling so proud
What a great bunch of poets
Gotta win this game

 

[Doctor Hoop]

What would game day be
Without haiku arguments?
Just count, lads, not hard

That said, X-men was
A mediocre movie
Same goes for the team

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Cincinnati up.
Something about Musketeers.
Oh yeah, UConn wins!
