Haiku Friday: The World Series!
I'm not the biggest baseball fan in the world (that would be IPLawGuy). I do go to a few Twins games every year, and continue to be a Tigers fan (you don't leave that when you leave the city). I usually don't pay much attention to the playoffs and World Series, since that bleeds over into college football season, which actually does interest me.
Not this year, though. I got totally caught up in the World Series, which ended on Wednesday night with the Cubs winning game 7 in 10 innings. It was awesome! Let's haiku about that this week-- you can talk about a team, the games, a memory, or some other year. Here, I will go first:
A bobbling ball
Or a pinch hitter's clutch hit;
When baseball's good... wow!
Now it is your turn! Just make it line up with the 5/7/5 syllable formula and have some fun!

Hundred years may pass
Yet names, deeds remain vital
And stand test of time
Players, coaches and fans
different races, politics
Pulling together
Cerebral sport plus
Extreme athleticism
yet no violence

The finest ash bat
Rizzo steps up to the plate
grip thick with pine tar
Steps into the box,
refastens his batting gloves
adjusts his ball cap
Looks left and then right
adjusts his stance one more time
stares at the pitcher
Daring him to throw
that one pitch, waiting, waiting
bat at the ready
Intensity builds
The pitcher throws to first base
Ritual starts anew
