Someone did a pool haiku in another thread.
Traditional Japanese haiku consists of 5, 7, 5.
You can modify it, who cares how many words each line contains.
I know theres lots of grey matter at AZ, let the creative juices flow.
The crazier the better.
Heres mine:
A pastoral sea of green
shiny globes disappearing in a black hole
cue is part of wall
 
Cue broken on knee
Last barrel thrown angrily on the table
Why put myself through this?
 
Gambling Negotiation in Haiku:

I just need the 8
You could bust me and retire
Don't be such a nit

I can't give you weight
Why won't you play me even
Get a heart transplant

come one and come all
Come down to your local pool hall
let's play some 10 ball


We bet high or small
let's make a game we can play
with the winner standing tall
 
Haiku is based on 5-7-5 syllables, not words.

fire them with little recourse
must post with me first
 
Thanks Vette, I was corrected on that one already. I'm 51 and haven't been to an english class in many moons.
 
Redo Based on corvette correction

railbirds are haters
that love to see you go broke
and can't play a lick

pool is a mind game
plain to see hard to master
life imitates pool

In that case...

Cue broken on knee
Last barrel thrown on table
Why do I shoot pool?

Thank you sir, Corvette
Five to seven words was wrong
What was I thinking?

Nine balls. Nine planets
Game of the gods, I tell you
The felt, I orbit


Too bad they went and removed Pluto from the list of planets and ruined my metaphor! :p

Determination

Focus. Concentrate.
Anticipate the Outcome.
Aim. Stay Down. Smooth Stroke.
 
Woofing, now betting
Each is a pro wannabe
Good friends, good times ..... pool

Cool, dark rooms lure me
Each a vacation resort
Hours well-spent, away.

Show me your money
I can beat anyone here
How did I miss that???

You want some action?
I won't give you any weight.
What, no heart, sucker?

patient orb waiting
quickening stroke through and low
cue ball returning



Shot you cannot make
Desperate, smash balls, close eyes
Pray for lucky break
