PrintFinally.
It's Game Week, and that means the return of the Rocky Top Talk Hail Mary Haiku.
Here's the concept for those new to RTT this season: You're behind by four at midfield. Only one second remains on the clock, and you have to heave the ball into a mass of players in the end zone and hope that one of your guys comes down with it. Bonus points for actually observing the traditional 5-7-5 format for haikus, but free form haikus are allowed. This is, after all, a desperation play.
I'll try to post the entries and open up the voting through a poll on the right sidebar on Thursday morning. Voting will continue until Game Day, when I'll post the winner. The winner gets . . . the esteem of his or her peers and the derision of his or her opponents!

Hike! Ooooh!
It's almost Football Time in Tennessee!

I know it helps with voting and all, but I challenge all poets to compose their Hail Mary Haiku without titles, for haiku traditionally lack them, instead relying on the images within them to convey feeling to the reader.

Ode to UCLA
A third string quarter-back?
Eric Berry laughs with delight!
This might get ugly…
Syllables!!
Not to crunch nuts, but make it ‘A third string QB’ so it’s 5 syllables to start ;o

Are welcomed on Rocky Top
As long as you lose!

Ain't it good to be alive and be in Tennessee!
