did the best team win? NO

i am quite jaded
it's not losing: it's losing
to unsporting types

to surround the ref
with 'red card' gestures is not
to really play fair

dear psuedo pundits
while you are not objective
you still piss me off

thierry henry
it would be wisest to stay
and win it next year

fear of terror (shark!)

Writing about web page http://imdb.com/title/tt0149261/

fear of sharks
from an early age
gaping carcharias were
monsters in my tales

unfathomable
looking depthwardly i mise
dark and leg sucking

i still watch shark films
perpetuating the fear
with ll cool j:

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Because I carry a big stick and I'm the meanest mother fucker in the valley! Two sharks down, Lord! One demon fish to go! Can I get an Amen?

LISTENING TO THE CRICKET

commentary
your jolly jumper
with its lovely thick blue stripe
sets off your new beard

meanwhile
batsmen dodge deep points
i gently philosophise
searching for deep points

supermassive black hole

PROSE
one of the devon trio's main hooks in this song is "oooooohh aaarrrrrrrrr", which shows that your roots will always catch up with you in the end (devon rural rustic etc etc)..

pan versie

the beautiful game. nice
i'm "bewildering
Sorensen with a hiphop
dance with the ball" – see?

a work of art. showboating
now i'm back down south
where even footballers dance
(then smash the ball in)

a paradigm shift with bells on: unveiling

1. sneak a peek at geek chic.
"art pretentious? [mwah!]"
with a peck on the cheek, squeak
"respect of the clique"

2. weakly freaky beak.
a new way to speak
dodging the incessant shriek:
"oblique, why my pique!"

3. unique technique.
finding what we seek:
an eschewing of mystique
(tweaking my boutique)

4. haiku askew
bid adieu haiku:
i present anew to you
the fiveku debut

5! they may not always rhyme. or be in time...
i may well deprive
your haiku fix: you’ll survive
meanwhile I’ll contrive
five-seven-five-seven-five
together we’ll thrive

i've broken out of folsom prison: time is strolling on

1.
now i have come back
to the place where we all dance
all night with linked arms

2.
folsom prison blues
pronouncing bouncing basslines
causing pouncing feet

3.
familial rites:
to eat, drink, sleep, and shelter,
and glance primally

4.
a reality-blog
it occurs infrequently
make the most of it

but i don't think a few words of mine are going to make you change your mind

1. about a boy
the mofo you love
to hate, but can't because you
love what haiku make

2. stick schtick
still determined?
i've tangled with your mind before
with five seven five

3. the ante is going to touch the sky
this time i'm tangling
with directly acquainted
mind melting belting

4. a visual sky-haiku
centre to centre
syllable to syllable
haters – say "laters"

its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility

Writing about web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roshambot

1.RO
safe-clad so-and-so
with his faithful roshambot
surely ro-scam, bro

2.SHAM
as the portmanteu
extends an aggressive toe
we cry "ro-sham-no!"

3.BO!
that toe apropos
cruelling dealing such a blow
– a steel ro-sham-bo

the computer room
with its fight club aesthetic:
my new hermit home
