Blazer Haiku's - leave your best one's below

by BlazermaniacAndy on Jul 17, 2008 11:25 AM PDT

Hello All,

I was at work, "working", and I got a good idea. Actually I stole it from 'Raoulduke', but hey, I could of have thought of it!

Blazers Haiku's! You know we Blazermaniacs are the educated type, let's prove it with some whitty word play. Post away! Best response wins a "Rip City' poster I stole from the Rose Garden last year!

My Entry:

Jerryd Bayless Balls

The Finn-ster can pass the rock

But Batum needs work

Summer Leauge's the start

Then Pre-Season begins to ramp

Then we see Oden slam

Rudy can shoot deep

Brandon is the man with skills

L A for All-Star

Let's win it for Paul

Who's cash can not make him smile

till he hangs banner

Find me High on life

Drunk off of the thought of 'what if'

Wasted wishing Roy wins

Remeber the Haiuk rule, syllables in lines of 5-7-5 (if I messed up I apologize, it's been a long time since I felt creative!)

I'm a poet and didn't knoet

Worst part of summer?
Waiting to see Oden play
I know he will KILL

Blazer’s Edge is so sweet
4 fanposts in an hour
I love the chatter

Both Teams Played Hard
Both Teams Played Hard

Hi Koo

Jarrett Jack is gone
The scapegoat’s throne now empty
Will Martell ascend?

I already posted this here, and a few others have as well.

a trade to propose:
Outlaw for scrubs…I get
number twenty-five’d

what does that mean?

to be # 25’d? I suppose it has something to to with being p’owned like a newb.

You're a neophyte

Try an experiment: write a fanpost about possible trades involving Travis. See what happens.

So long til tip off
How can I make the time pass
Cryogenic sleep

I’m five seven five
But officially I list
Six eight six in shoes

There once was a Blazer named Clyde
Who knew how to pivot and slide
He’d drive to the hole
And with a slick finger roll
Leave opponents hung out and dried

And a sestina

"Budded roses gather in a garden ring--"

Budded roses gather in a garden ring-
In a city; in itself a budding amaranth-
Proclaim and coronate a tow’ring king,
He to Portland is become a stoic hydranth

God of Thunder, to the league a very pyracanth
Evergreen, and ever red and black
A neophyte, a true celestial perianth
Transformed to fruit—a poisoned garnet lac

Which on the lips of villains’ post attacks
Stifles famished throats of earthy breath
Lofted volleys are sent, violent, back
To whence their dumbstruck authors glimpse their death

With open eyes and awe the league conceives
In Oden: ancient face, the truth, belief.

Counterpoint

Championship won
Victory leap frees my soul
And crumbs from my shorts

by lukeyhere on Jul 17, 2008 2:25 PM PDT up 0 recs

On the banks of the river
The river of Willamette
Stands the Garden named for roses
Named for roses of the City
In city known as Portland, Pritchard
Called the warriors – Trailblazers
Called them all together
In the cool fall evening maidens
Sang the songs of battle dancing
In the Garden named for roses

From his footsteps grew a thunder
Oden from on high was roaring
Gleaming now the polished backboards
Leaping to the great lob pass
Lowering the shattering hammer
Breaking all the glass in shards
Boys with sweat mops gaze in wonder
something something I actually have work to do…

Raoul, Awesome

It gave me shivers, no kidding, my fav line
“In the cool fall evening maidens
Sang the songs of battle dancing
In the Garden named for roses”

Anything that has to do with female blazer fans, and you got me.

As a Blazers Edge Poet Laureate I officially sanction this fanpost.

But St. Bayno is by far the better Haiku writer.
Whereas I just rhyme and wear a mitre.

Haiku's are too hard to do

I refuse to do them at all. So there!

(Hey wait a second! That was a haiku)
