Baseball Haiku 1-5

1
Complete games
aren’t what they used to be—
bullpens exploding.


2
Pitcher wipes his brow,
sun peaks out from clouds—
there goes the runner!


3
It’s lonely on the bench
when you’re pitching well—
no-hitter brewing.


4
Ash tree gave its life
for a thousand home runs—
Hall of Fame material.


5
It’s past my bedtime
but I’ll listen all night—
extra innings.

Cub/Card Haiku

1
Now this game's
starting to feel like
Cubs vs Cards.

               (after Hughes)


2
Even though I'm home alone,
the sound of the game
in every room.


3
Izturis breaks for home
but Looper misses the pitch.
Suicide indeed.

Dorothy Baseball

To get it clear I
fight the storms of Illinois —
ruby batting gloves.

720 WGN

Pat kicks it to Ron
for a game summary —
Ron just laughs.

KOA delay

Rockies from Denver.
I hear things
one pitch late.

Headphones

Crawling into bed,
a single up the middle —
no-hitter lost.

The wife's gone to bed

850
comes in clear —
time for another.

850 KOA

Insanely fond
Of catching AM from Denver
At night in St. Louis.
