WC2018 Day 22 – haiku – free!!
10/07/2018 14:00 haiku – breaking news!!!
Rescuers win through
Miracle, science or what?
Wild Boar FC free!
Brit divers on team
Thais will now support England
Three Lions and Wild Boars!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
odd-bod?
I’m an expert (or so I’d like to think)
but I look back at pre-tournament predictions
and I’m way off beam
partly that was down to me
not wanting to jinx
my own team
but also
this World Cup has thrown-up
so many googlies
that it could nearly be cricket!
though that’s a kop-out
and leaves me on a sticky wicket….
would I rather be right
and see all results
go to form?
or are we better off
far removed
from the pre-plotted norm?
for isn’t this unpredictability
actually
half the fun of the fayre?
to see teams going for it
when normally
they wouldn’t stand a prayer?
so are we prepared
to take
a pummelling with the odds?
especially when, as an unexpected bonus
it is England who potentially have
one of the World Cup winning squads?!?!?!
WC2018 Day 21 – haiku
ENGERRRRRRRRLAN!!
England 2-0 Sweden; haiku
Harry scores the first
Familiar name on scoresheet
Maguire not Kane tho
Dele Alli heads
Ball nestles in onion bag
A much needed goal
For every goal
Millions of pints go
Flying through the air
In total control
Is this really England?!?
Nation loving it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Croatia 2-2 Russia; haiku
Penalty shoot-out
Modric and his merry men
Croatia stun hosts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Better than World Cup haiku
Cave Divers are go!
International Rescue
For Wild Boar FC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wild Boar FC
Need a goal or two –
Not the ball nestling in the net
But short term targets to keep hopes up
As the water rises, knee deep;
“my favourite food”
“not too much homework please”
“don’t forget my birthday”;
Now it’s taking true teamwork
To get everyone out alive
Divers and experts collaborating
While tv reports elaborating
On the plans and attempts so far…
International Rescue for real
WC2018 Day 19 (pre)
England facing
A rising tide
Of public expectation
Wild Boar FC
Face a rising tide
In monsoon season
Diving could yet be
The key to both
WC2018 Day 18
Priority haiku
Wild Boar football team
Trapped in underground caves
Hang in there boys!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brazil 2-0 Mexico
Samba stars shake hips
Neymar, Willian lead the dance
Brazil dominate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Neymar notches stat
Two hundred twenty seven
All time top scorers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Belgium 3-2 Japan
surprise two nil lead
Red Devils claw back from brink
Blue Samurai blues

Hi Denys,
Yes Richard Williams you’re a brilliant wordsmith, my friend. When I first saw your football poetry I thought it was the superb Guardian sports and music writer. I once had the honour of sitting next to Richard Williams while at the Independent on the sports desk. He writes about music and sport with immense knowledge and authority. I’ve read a couple of Richard’s books recently. Great writer rather like you Richard Williams the Pompey fan. Congratulations on promotion.

Hi Joe
Shouldn’t your title read your poem Farewell Europe England to everyone exccept Aston Villa ?
I know you mention them in your poem , but I do feel sorry for Villa re the national press .
Largely ignored. the hype was was all about Man City & Arsenal with a bit of a nod to the Hammers..but hardly a mention of Villa..
So well done to them

Hi Crispin. Chris Sutton on the radio has gone for a Chelsea v Coventry final. As we know anything can happen in the Cup, and I reckon we can go to the final.
We’re still in with a chance of the play offs too, so lots to go for.

Hey Kev
Let the masses drool over their odds on City v Unted Final, but who knows how pressure can hit.
Cov and Chels will be rightly labelled as having no chance..but hey …stranger things have happened..
so Chelsea v Coventry…that’s the Final for us!
Best
