Sox' 2006 Victory Haikus


VAfan

Recommended Posts

Last season in May, someone started a Sox Haikus thread on the main Sox site. I wrote a bunch of them about us winning the World Series. Yesterday, in response to Beck 72's thread about hope for this season, I penned the following new ones. I decided they deserved their own thread since no one responded in kind on that thread. Feel free to add your own. Remember, Haikus follow the 5-7-5 syllable format. (P.S. I stand corrected on the form by Misplaced Sox. Thanks for the information!)

 

*****************

We are just lulling

Other teams into thinking

They can beat the Sox

 

In fact, the White Sox

Are still baseball's best team

And we will prove it

 

Have no fear Sox fans

Would you swap our warriors

For another team?

 

Winning July games

Is not essential prelude

To October wins

 

Pitching and defense

Will reemerge and become

Our team theme again

 

Until it comes back

Power bats will carry us

Into the playoffs

 

Once in, we won't care

If we have the Wild Card slot

Or win the Central

 

No team can stop us

From repeating as World Champs

We will find a way

 

Ya gotta believe

In this solid White Sox team

To go all the way!

 

Back-to-back titles

Flying over the South Side

It's gonna be sweet.

Its all good and all but the Haiku is a different technique. I know your having fun and it is amusing but Im just being technical here. What you have provided is a "Hokku" a starting chain. Normally a Haiku is composed a single thought between two distances and it stops..... it also hints or winks at the season in which it was written as in "fresh" for spring..... "warm, moist" summer..... "dry, leave" fall and "sleep, alone" winter.....

 

:chair Anyways I it is a nice idea :P

These threads are getting wierder by the day.

 

Nothing screams to me more for american baseball, than Japanese poetry.

 

C'mon. Haven't got the creativity to pen a few lines to the success of your favorite team?

 

I'm actually pretty disappointed that so few Sox talk posters seem to be able to conjure up odes to the success of the Sox.

People want him back

Well guess what you Rowand fans

He's not coming back

 

Anderson's to stay

He is twice the defender

Bat's coming around

 

Garcia is not good

He is the one that should go

Your velocity sucks

 

Bring me the Flash

Bring in Duaner Sanchez

McCarthy will start

I can honestly say the last possible thing I ever thought I would see from sox fans is "Please recite your victory haiku". Its almost creepy.

The only true Haiku in this thread.^

 

1st line, 5 syll

2nd line, 7 syll

3rd line, 5 syll

 

1st and 3rd lines must rhyme

 

Rhyming's over-rated

That's why I never do it

It sounds tired and dated

 

Well, that sucked, the first line is 6 syllables.

What if the second line rhymes too? I wrote this one last year:

 

Great Ozzie man say

Pitching and defense the way

To World Series play!

 

It still applies.

Who is this Widger?

Calls nothing but bad games

Blanco should come here

BTW LMB, haikus do not have rhymes. I just wiki'd it.

 

 

We all make mistakes

Next time I'll do more research

Will you forgive me?

 

 

Doesn't even look like any kind of writing style without the rhyme.
