I must admit to feeling a little disappointed...<br /><br />I'm not sure Max will fully understand the rules of hockey before he turns three, but that hasn't stopped him from playing his version of it. I honestly have no idea what the rules are in his head, but I can definitely say they are not strictly adhering to the real rulebook.<br /><br />Heh, your second haiku feels too true to not be my favorite this week :)<br /><br />Ivybennet - thanks!<br /><br />That's an intriguing pair of haiku you have there. Really feels like they could be expanded into a longer story (and one that I would like to read!).Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952331166517430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-89118512293842989112015-02-04T03:41:43.189-08:002015-02-04T03:41:43.189-08:00I'm glad you're starting to feel better!

So... do all Canadians learn to play hockey by the time they're three? :-D<br />I think I like your second haiku better this week as I am imagining a fairly dozy umpire who's making the rules up as he's going along, but I like the misdirection inherent in your first too!<br /><br /><b>The umpire</b><br />My hypnotic gaze<br />Compels you to bare your throat...<br />You said <i>vampire</i>, right?<br /><br />------<br />Constant back and forth<br />Hurts my neck, so for this match<br />I'm making scores up.<br /><br />Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.com
