The Running Poets Society presents its first edition of “Haikus: To the Rockies and Back” to the discerning and hopefully nearly illiterate reader. We drew our inspiration from the trials and tribulations of the aspiring athlete (and the omelets at the Horseman – mmm, proteiny!).
Cows out in the field
If they lie down, it means rain
Rainy workouts suck
The Horseman Diner
Our after practice hangout
No more lipstick glass
Rockefeller Park
Scenic beauty of nature
The hills make me barf
Distance running girls
Some say they all are crazy
But the boys are too
Run run run run run
Run run run run run run run
Run run run run run
Horses on the trail
Stop and walk, or they may spook
Great day for a ride
Coach Mike with the watch
Which hill will we run today?
Let’s go. Atta babe.
BONUS! Order in the next 5 minutes and get a DVD of the poem, “Barf.”
Running up a hill
Barfing barfing barfing barf
Why did I wake up
This one is for Dr. Fullem:
The Sydney Maree
Walking up cemetery
Jorge tells it best

Oh boy! Oh boy! Lightning!
BARF! atta babe…
