Haiku not Haka?!? Challenge 10

 

have declared that the All Blacks' haka 

is "unsportsmanlike" and describe it as "a sideshow". 

  

The International Rugby Board have agreed and have ruled that a 

haiku, not a haka, 

must be performed by the All Blacks at the final of the Rugby World Cup.

Your challenge is to write a haiku 

that the All Blacks can use instead of the haka.

What is a Haiku?

• Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. 
• The first has 5 syllables, the middle line has 7 syllables and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables.
• The lines do not have to rhyme.

Example 1    

haiku or haka
doesn't matter on game day
still world's number 1

Example 2
All Blacks are the best
Australians are way NOT
poor English, but oh so true!

Example 3
collisions and pain
we're so tough we do not care
victory is ours!

WHAT A WEEKEND! Challenge 9

As he entered the lab, my steel heart warmed. Beautiful but dangerous were the first words that sprang to mind. Circling away from him, I continued inputting my data. Different emotions had been explained to me such as Empathy, Happiness and Sadness but this was one new...
"Eleanor, how are you today?" his voice sang. etc.






"Love me or leave me!"
My defenses were down. No one could resist her imploring blue eyes, coupled with her stuttering sniffling. Only she, could hold such power over me. Perhaps, this time would be different; she promised it would be.
Quietly, taking her hand in mine.... etc.
