Thanks for the clarification and re-explanation. I'll give it a go.

nick is a big tool
seven syllables? passé!
paul is always right

See what happens when you try to adhere to 5-7-5? Not pretty.

...you guys are familiar with Bad Haiku, right?

Here's one of my old submissions.

Sunday's slow approach
Clear skies and new cleats
eager for more baseball

p.s. all signs point to my attendance this week.

Good one Ken, notice how he got a nature phrase, and an emotive phrase in there? Very good.

Saturday Labor
Warm and Sunny Tomorrow

Sometimes I wonder,
"Will we view tomorrow's skies
clearly or through rain?"

The batter steps in
Weary from the summer sun
His focus is within

A single misstep
Tears from a frustrated man
Soil soaked at his feet

Good stuff guys. I like the second one from Nick in particular.

poetry is dumb
but baseball inspires
so proudly i write

And your first one was actually quite good. For shame.

paul, your mom
gives great head
hooray!

p.s. these last two were spawned out of complete boredom (and lack of desire to actually write) i promise the next one will be good.

A foolish man jests
Mocking the skill of aged tongues
But his mom is best

Oakland Park Baseball

Baseball Haiku
