determination
the fierce stare into sunset
instinct, confidence
Nothing exciting, just a Haiku about playing football! Quite enjoyed it tonight, competitive. Not all my Haikus are about nature, love or the seasons. Well, ok, this one is a little bit about the seasons, as the pitch is orientated East-West, which means one side stares into the setting sun. But for me that celestial glow produced a god like performance :)
naked athletes run
laconic warriors box

I do like the Olympics, but the whole commercialism of sport pisses me right off. Many fans have missed out on tickets because sponsors have lapped up loads. I don’t really see a trickle down of wealth coming down to your average worker or independent trader as the money seems to have corralled by some key corporations.
I wonder what the Olympics would be like if we reverted to the Ancient format of the games, with Chariot racing for instance. I’m not that keen on naked running / wrestling, but hey, if it makes it authentic, why not. (other people competing, not me!).
As I watched the games, I took this photo from our living room window.
