AL-FL Haiku/Senryu thread

[stlimprov]

Inspired by the "six words or less" thread, I offer the haiku/senryu thread.

For more info on haiku/senryu, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

Long story short, the syllable structure is 5-7-5. Haiku tends to focus on a seasonal reference, senryu on humor and/or human foible.

So...


Leaves begin to change
Ninety degrees in Gainesville
The Swamp awaits Bama




No bombs to Prothro
Tebow runs for short yardage
Will Leak tip snap count?

 

[NBF_Bama_Cavalry]

The Tide floods the Swamp
No gators are to be found
Chomp! See ya, Urban.

 

[stlimprov]

What's that on my phone?
Urban Meyer text message
Will they never stop?




Gut wrenching hog loss
Young Tiffen kept erring right
Is Money healthy?




Darby all time great
Injury stunts adjustment
Can right side hold line?

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Let's go Krogering
For the best of everything
Including your life

 

[TexasBama]

Saturday at six,
Urban is heard whimpering,
Mike is my daddy.

 

[cbi1972]

Number five again
We play in Gainesville this time
Similar outcome

Hotshot quarterbacks
Tebow coughs it up in fourth
Leak runs for his life

Tough loss for Gators
There's no crying in football
Meyer needs tissue

Tide rolls in Gainesville
Sportscasters can't believe it
Clucko gets it right

Leak confused again
Receiver says he's open
Joe Kines shuts it down

 

[bamanut_aj]

I will watch the game
and drink a lot of bourbon
as we beat Flor-da

Defense tightens up
The offense finds its rhythm
Nothing stops the TIDE

TIDE comes rolling in
The gators become lizards

[bamanut_aj]

gators wearing jorts
mullets flapping in the wind
lost in the 80's

hurry, BAMA, win!
just get me out of this place
Alabama bound

gators crying now
you've heard of crocodile tears?
these are gator tears!

 

[NYBamaFan]

The skies burn Crimson
As the sun sets on Gainsville
Bama reigns supreme

 

[stlimprov]

Coach Urban Meyer
Speaks like Mel Tillis at half
Kines outschemed spread op

 

[IH8Orange]

Endeavor in vain
Urban invented Haiku
Challenge is futile

The mouth of Mincey
No longer sprays its folly
Thirty-one to three

It seems that the chomp
Falls silent in the face of
a September romp

Tebow up the gut
His father nods approving
Sideline distraction

 

[IHateUT]

I though you all knew
Urban Meyer invented
football and haiku

 

[bamajas]

A Fall in the swamp.
It's Bama's fate or season
of weather. Or both.


Urban's orange gators.
Shula's young crimson and white.
One victor come night.


Big Bama road test.
The D must play like a Rock
So the O can Roll.

 

[CrimsonChuck]

John Parker Wilson,
Florida cannot handle him.
Bama wins by three.

 

[InsaneMustang]

I arrive Friday
To watch my tide win, I pray
And celebrate all day

But if they do not
I will not cry, yell, or complain
I will just come back home


If I were to cry
Just like a small little baby girl
It’d be impossible

To distinguish me
From someone with SC, TN, FL
Or, AU on their door



Eh, I tried hard

 

[Bama Torch in Pcola]

Leaf-like Gators see
how like September's wind the
Tide blows them away


Fall, and the Gators
still have no idea about
how to stop the Tide


Steamy, hot and quiet
around the swamp when I hear
a tear drop. Urban??

 

[BigBama]

Wow, what a surprise,
Bama runs the ball on them,
Florida gets beat

 

[Bama Lee]

There once was a girl from Nantucket....

Oops wrong poem:biggrin:

Hickory dickory Dock
Florida is on the block
Gators say Boo
As Bama goes for two
And the tide wins with no time on the clock

Its not a Haiku...
but its the best I can do!

 

[cbi1972]

There once was a ball coach named Meyer.
Who was widely thought a good hire.
His team's highly ranked,
but when they get spanked,
their title hopes will be dire.

You have produced a limerick. It is a rhyme scheme with "aabba".
