Football

Cymbals crash- jars ears
Marching line, loud metal sounds.
Football season starts.

I happen to be listening to a football game right now. Only do so out of habit, and only listen to the home team now. I find it so boring. Who cares? -- Apparently, I do, at least enough to listen with one ear. Smiles, gw

There are almost too many teams now. Football has become commercial with an emphasis on money. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers because they are a home based team.

Yes, just like anew. And I do like simple and short. You made a very quick point of it!

I sure know those sounds. My man are all football fans. I use to watch my husband sit in his recliner as he was one in the field playing football. He'd also lose his temper when a wrong was made. It was hilarious. Great imagery in you Senryu, Hilda.

Yes indeed. Football season and many wives rue the day but it's also Hockey season and some of the women are worse than the men. Good job her. God Bless, JB

Well-composed Haiku, you convey the picture of football and the excited supporters so well in just a few syllables.

Oh, all the football widows! What the heck. You hooked me with the first Cymbal Crash, a lifelong amateur drummer. Love it!

I have never seen a US football, only the UK soccer. Can understand the noise though. Lovely haiku. Blessings.
