May the best Haiku win! (Contest with Poll!)

[Roy Hobbs]

I gotta go with Roy's mamba haiku.  Outstanding!

Thanks, Redz.  Any time I can talk about metaphorically decapitating Kobe, it's a good day.

Twenty two years long
C's victory has rested
Lakers cannot win

[Lucky17]

Defeated in six
Kobe slinks away, pouting
"Like Jordan": really?

[Redz]

Accomplished as one
An inexorable fate
The zenith of sport

[Bahku]

I didn't get to vote ... and it won't let me ... all that's showing is the results, and no choices. What's going on?!?

[indeedproceed]

[Bahku]

Thank you! (Somebody)

[indeedproceed]

[Lucky17]

Shameless self-promotion. But Hobbs got my second vote.

[wdleehi]

My sad little try. 


Celtics beat Lakers
Celtics 9 and 2 all time
Lakers stay number 2.

Shameless self-promotion. But Hobbs got my second vote.

Thanks for the vote.  They're all good efforts, but I'm a big fan of yours (which got added to the poll after I had cast my vote) and Stu's. 

IP did a great job in selecting these.

Thanks, Roy. And thanks to IP as well for a fun contest.

Lakers lose finals
Kobe and Stern cry cry
Celtic fans happy

[Schupac]

Looks like I'm too late for the poll....  but oh well!


Staples center full
true rowdy LA fans, leave
early to beat traffic


Sad star, soft front court
trade me for a pittance please!
No... thank you, Memphis.


Valuable Kobe
They say most, it won't matter
the celtics are hosts.


Paul Pierce's exodus
long overdue return home
childhood dreams achieved.


KG always charged
fired up for each game, just like
predator, bleeds green.



Ray Ray, three point shot
slump over, always be our
jesus shuttlesworth.

Sixteen ghosts beckon
Parquet echoes dire conquests
Another must rise.

this gets my vote.
