4 Tampa Bay Haiku

by Gary Gillette

Tampa Bay Haiku No. 1

In God’s waiting room
The Sea hatches unholy
Bottom-feeding Rays.

Tampa Bay Haiku No. 2

Satanic rays swim
‘Round rev’nue-sharing sinkhole.
Damn Yanks; damn Red Sox.

Tampa Bay Haiku No. 3

Naimoli mantra:
Vinnie, we hardly knew ye.
Gale force storm brewing.

Tampa Bay Haiku No. 4

Even St. Peter
Could not make juice from concrete.
Bayside disaster.

OPENING DAY…

By Gary Gillette

Opening Day. Green.
April grass: green. Ballpark, green.
Fans’ hearts red—heads blue.
