Cat-like elegance,
Deceptive simplicity --
Federer kicks ass.

Sharapova smash
Surly, sullen bitchface -- next,
Hideous pink bow

Djokovic drama
Petty, bitter overspeak
Gives me nausea

Trying to think straight:
Temporary trouble, or
signs of something more?

Ode to Indian Wells, '04
Before the darlings,
A silver convertible,
Blue courts and blue skies
PS: Damn you, Tiki, for making me think in verse these days -- though it's helping to shake off the rust on the old college days....
(Because it keeps me from dissertating, I'll flip the ode:)
Blue courts and blue skies,
A silver convertible:
Before the darlings.

Gimelstob, you douche,
keep your mind on the game, and
your mouth in check. Ass.
I always thought of haiku as kind of soothing and zen for obvious reasons. My first real attempt at it, not surprisingly, is decidedly not.

Ha, the haiku thread is heating up! You're good, oopssorry. And I wonder, falafaclese, if that's the first time the word "douche" has been used in a haiku. Hee.
I marvel at the
giant head of Djokovic:
a porcupine's ass.

Those are great, Tiki and Falafaclese....! I love this thread - and am SOO glad we moved from TWOP!

I haven't written a haiku since I was in elementary school, but I'll give it a shot.
My Ode to Andy Roddick:
Dubai was last week,
the transformation complete:
hero to zero.
The racket is swung,
Sharapova's mouth opens:
a sick dying cat.

Yay, whyistherumgone is playing too!
We should keep this thread going all year, then collect the haiku in a book...if I thought anyone would buy it other than us. But we are pretty good, if I do say so!

Just for admin:
James Blake, Penis-Head.
He seems like a nice guy, but
That headband must go.
