Haiku
From SoSH
Prologue:
Doesn't a haiku have 7 syllables in the middle phrase?
- - DavidWellsAtNelson
well yea but they also are supposed to contain a reference to nature or the seasons....
- - Colorado Jack
Ours are more like Senryu in Haiku form.
- - City of Rosie Palms
To be specific,
Sandbox haiku should refer
To dirty water.
- - Sprowl
Haiku in the 'box
Syllables, like flowing water
Form over substance
- - BroodsSexton
August 23 v. the Other Sox
Haiku mojo, an
Entire thread in formal verse,
Blisteringly bright!
- - BroodsSexton
Double play, fly out
Sitting down, White Sox batters
The rain hangs above
- - BroodsSexton
Josh lacking control
weather dot com says t storms
could be a long day
- - BroodsSexton
Japanese mojo;
and yet it's not even a
Matsuzaka start.
- - BroodsSexton
Bases loaded. Fuck.
Find the fucking plate you prick.
I want to throw up.
- - City of Rosie Palms
No curveball control
Fastball all over the place
Recipe for loss.
- - tims4wins
I think I'm going
I think I'm going I think
I'm...you know the end.
- - nvalvo
Walking in a run
Thirty:-one pitches so far
This is not pretty
- - City of Rosie Palms
Three and two count now.
Runners will be going. Fuck.
Fake edit: STRIKEOUT!
- - City of Rosie Palms
Lurker game thread angst
Settling down, a dullish pain.
Like Beckett's curveball.
- - BroodsSexton
MLB TV
to Remy and Orsillo
mercif'ly switches
- - Sprowl
Slowing down the game
Step out, hold the ball, patience.
The rain will come soon
- - BroodsSexton
Schilling? I hear he
Speaks directly to the Lord
Jesus wins the game!
- - BroodsSexton
Varitek must think
Beckett is Eric Gagne
Nothing but fastballs
- - OffTheVolvoSign
Inefficiency.
Sixty pitches thrown through two.
Big Sny gets some work.
- - Nvalvo
Sitting at my desk.
Composing Red Sox haikus.
No work will be done.
- - OffTheVolvoSign
Terry Francona
A marathon; not a sprint.
Pedroia sits out.
- - Nvalvo
Haiku slows me down
The syllables always run
Two batters behind.
- - Sprowl
Girl With Remy Mask
Must Be Really Ugly, No?
Why Would She Wear It
- - MannyTizzleTek
Damn. I am hungry.
I haven't eaten all day.
I could use a beer.
- - City of Rosie Palms
Manny Ramirez
Owns Chicago's Jon Garland
Mike Lowell 2:-1

Wow! Good Mike Lowell
Comes through in the clutch again.
Maybe we’ll keep him.
- - Sprowl
Jason Varitek
Up With The Bases Loaded
Oh What Will He Do?
- - MannyTizzleTek
Come on Varitek
Give all your loyal fans an
In play, run(s)-gasm
- - Bellhorn
Drew not an out
Mistakes were made, as it were
Up to Captain now
- - January
Not a bad at bat
Captain works the count, then shows
Warning track power.
- - Sprowl
What Is this I see?
Could it be timley hitting?
Lets Get More Runs Please!
- - Ajank002
That was Cora’s plan
all along. He always thinks
2 innings ahead.
- - Sprowl
The game’s official
but the lead’s been cut in half.
Start praying for rain?
- - Sprowl
Give it up ChiSox
Okajima is nasty
Please God no Gagne
- - MoGator71
Tito loves to play
With LOOGYs. Theo gets him
Such wonderful toys.
- - Sprowl
OBP again!
Hitting leadoff seems to suit
Papi and Manny.
- - Sprowl
We need a cushion
Oh what joy bases loaded
Tack on some runs here
- - Ajank002
Timlin in the 8th.
It feels like old times, with He
Who Must Not Be Named.
- - Sprowl
Haiku mojo rules!
Behold, the Madonna walks
On Dirty Water.
- - Sprowl
August 24 v. the Pale Sox
Curt pitches eight strong
Big Papi hits 2 home runs
Manny does the same
- - MannyTizzleTek
Schilling takes the mound
White Sox batters are struck out
We win 1 and 2
- - Barbara
Schilling’s split hanging
(but there was no one on base)
Pedroia leaping
- - Sprowl
There once was a pitcher named Gavin
Getting outs was a trouble he was havin'.
They pulled him for Danks
To lessen the spanks
that the Red Sox repeatedly gave them.
- - BroodsSexton
Youkilis home run
Game over for the White Sox
Time to go to bed
- - City of Rosie Palms
East coast RSN
sleeps tight. Party starts when the
West coast sun goes down.
- - Sprowl
Nice haiku mock Yanks
originality fun
Big word at the end
- - January
98 through six
69 strikes and three hits
Schilling is killing
- - BroodsSexton
Counting syllables
Is a real pain. I’d stop, but
Mojo requires it.
- - Sprowl
Gagne in the pen
Riding pine, silently waits
Just where he should be
- - BroodsSexton
We love Kyle Snyder,
The Human Victory Lap.
Party on, amen!
- - Sprowl
Gagne takes the mound
Entire nation holds its breath
Outs only, no runs
- - Barbara
Spinning gusts of air
from earthen mound, around town
dirty water flows!
- - Barbara
(Sprowl's note: Barbara's concluding verse is the first, the original, the perennial Lurker Dirty Water haiku. Long may it rain on the earthen mound!)
