Editors' Choice
A few of our favorites. Should change frequently. Email us at favorites@redsoxhaiku.com, and we'll make a "readers' choice" section as well.
Hey wait 'til next year
Every eighty-six years
Like clockwork. Go Sox.

(Added to the site most recently.)
New hope, suddenly
The Red Sox with good pitching
Broken arm in March?

In winter Fenway
Old ghosts sleep and Schilling dreams
No hitters, no curse.

those Yankees do stink.

It is Theo, no?
When players must go. And so
Must office stupidness show?

Introduction
This site is born of agony and defeat. Game 7, 11th inning, Aaron Boone at the plate . . . 1986, Bill Buckner* . . . Bucky Dent . . . Carlton Fisk . . . some names and moments will live forever in Red Sox history. We have just had one of them.
*In fact, one of the managers of this site was a Mets fan in 1986. It was a great year. Sorry.
And one response to tragedy is art. To distill pain and despair and a chaotic railing at the cruelties of fate . . . into beauty and subtlety and creation. To do this may be only to light one small, phosphorescent fishie in an ocean of blackness, but we do it because it is what humans do.
It is what Red Sox fans do.
It is all we can do.
What is haiku?
Too hard to explain here. Any description of this essentially Japanese poetic form, rooted inextricably in Japanese language and culture, for English-speakers by an English-speaker, would inevitably simplify and misrepresent beyond any hint of usefulness.
Besides, I don't really know.
Some resources for you to find out:
Submissions
Are eagerly solicited. Send them here!
- We reserve the right to display only those haiku we want to.
- Submission of a haiku conveys permission to the managers of this site to publish that haiku on redsoxhaiku.com and any successor sites.
- We reserve the right to edit haiku for punctuation and spelling; although if in so doing we ruin the subtle allusions of your masterpiece, please let us know right away.
What about Cubs haiku? Well, for now we'd be pleased to receive any Chicago-Cubs-based haiku as well. But pick up this torch and light the fire at chicagocubshaiku.com—quick, before someone else gets the domain!
What about other verse forms? If we get submissions we like, we'll put up any other Red Sox verse as well. If you have a seven-act Jacobean revenge comedy starring Ted Williams, Cy Young, and Italian-Sausage Man, send it on in!
