*The NSFL as told by haikus

[ForSucksFake]

on the playing field
build your own legend today
your legacy eternal

the crowd roaring now
for the mighty warrior
give us all you have

the man runs so fast
he runs away from his past
toward the endzone

the halls have echoed
in remembrance of legends
may we remember

we all show tribute
before the true commissioner
we kneel before bex

all year long work hard
create media and earn
for just one more speed

every single day
it’s all been the same request
more butter me up?

what means more to you?
winning an ultimus trophy?
or the brotherhood?

will they celebrate
chant your name before the sun
or boo your bum ass

one day your time comes
regression comes for all of us
for we are all mortals

a once mighty god
never matched in might nor deed
succumbed to athlete’s foot

was winning worth it
if you didn’t make friends too?
celebrate with friends

to have loved football
is to have pushed yourself far
until you could not

will they remember
when you are no longer here
i hope that they do

when one man falls down
a champion picks him up
that’s what heroes do

i weep for norfolk
for life is not worth living
if only to fail

analyzing stats
is never quite as good as
analyzing glutes

what is companionship?
joining teammates in glory
or in the showers?

one day you’ll ask me
did you really write haikus
and get them graded?

You guys know haikus
need the first and last line to
be linked somehow, right?

What I am saying
It is not just 5 7 5
Do you catch my drift?

way more complicated than that.

first of all, they're not even measured in syllables, but in morae.
the whole point of a haiku is to use the principle of kiru (lit. "cutting") to highlight the juxtaposition of ideas... they're also supposed to have a specific reference to the seasons

but western culture has butchered the art of the haiku to the point it is no longer recognisable as the traditional japanese poetry form, and is simply three lines of poetry in the 5-7-5 syllable form
