Haiku Friday: Fall Saturdays



Fall is my favorite time of the year. I have always felt like I am guided by the academic calendar, even when I was not a student or teacher, and the weather is great.

In the fall, it is Saturdays that define us. The early-morning run, football, homecomings... it all happens on Saturdays. So, let's haiku about that.

Here is mine:

We were the Norsemen
Running young over gold leaves
Happy on the bus.

Now it is your turn...

Comments:
The St. Peter Saints,
Blue, white we sing your praises,
with this game tonight.
 
Ride on, Polar Bears!
Proudly we hail Town of Frost
(Texas Polar Bears?)
 
Taffeta dress, shoes
Homecoming dance, '91
Vomited gallons.
 
Chill air, hill country
Alive with a single chant:
Go Texas! Fight! Fight!
 
Saturdays define
me: winter, spring, summer, fall
Always at school. Sad.
 
Our team, the Catfish
So to speak, they sucked, bad
But we had great floats!
 
Pink and yellow leaves
Audubon Park in Memphis
Memories of home.
 
Flames rise over
The Tribe's homecoming parade;
Bad IPLawGuy!
 
Fall football games played,
new relationships begin.
Need more wins than losses.

--Tony Romo

P.S. Osler, how come you no longer announce the winner of the haiku contest? This is like Midway Soccer.
 
BACK IN RURAL TEX,
MY VIEWS WERE RECOGNIZED, ADORED
NOT SHOT DOWN LIKE HERE.

-ANONYMOUS ALL CAPS GUY
 
Donuts and soccer
Lightning Bolts and Purple Grapes
5 year-olds named one.
 
Anxiously waiting
parents, teachers and students
for the first kick off
 
I never liked them,
Saturdays, that is. Don't Know
why. I need structure.
