Haiku Friday: Baseball is back!

 


Do I care about major league baseball? Not very much! Is it back anyways? Yes!

Admittedly, some people (like IPLawGuy, pictured above), do care about opening day-- he is usually there, scorecard in hand.  So, if you know a lot or a little, let's haiku about pro ball this week. Here, I will go first:

Old Ernie Harwell
That voice meant it was summer
(He made a lot up).

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun....

    Went to Twins game one
    It was cold and power went out
    Left by inning two

    They punctuated
    Each base,colored the green,waiting—
    For man, ball. Moon rose.

    Greased pigs ran like wind,
    Nun massaged, shenanigans—
    Theatre and thrills.

  8. Gritty and greasy
    Grand old Tiger Stadium
    Steel girdered Mecca

    Dark and cavernous
    Probe through the crowded concourse
    Churning masses. Noise

    Decipher the codes
    The clues painted on the walls
    Where do I belong?

    A portal revealed
    Sunlight and emerald green
    Exhilarating !
