More homework w/e 18/4/13

Post by Neville Briggs » Wed Mar 13, 2013 3:18 pm

2 FOOPBOR HAIKU


Green grass with white posts nearby
where thick men running
go up, go down; who knows why ?

Kneeing, wrenching, gouging eyes,
torn knee ligaments
underneath grey wintery skies.

Carn the Hawks! Hot pies, cold beer,
speccys and check-sides,
Saturday arvos this year.

The buzz that is imminent,
the senses are tweaked,
the deep heat and liniment

The passion of a Byron;
Pickett or Kickett,
a kick after the siren.

Footy's back :D

OK so here is the challenge –
3 to 6 verses.

17 syllables per verse or less

CLOSE my friends but not close enough :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But good on you for having a go. It's not as easy as it looks now is it? ;)
