Summary: This is new to me – do they qualify as Haiku?




Some football Haiku
About the beautiful game
But do they succeed?
 
Transfer window closed
Millions of pounds are spent
Not much difference
 
A game of two halves
We didn’t deserve to lose
Sick as a parrot
 
Dominated first
Complacent during second
Ended up losing
 
Professional foul
Second yellow for dissent
Team down to ten men
 
Ball rebounds off post
A simple penalty missed
Three points thrown away
 
Game ended in draw
Extra time then penalties
A poor way to win
 
Two TV pundits
Completely differing views
But watching same game
