Proposal: Enter your Trade Haikus

[Burt Reynolds]

In Boston we wait,
For a top-4 defenseman
Please help us Sweeney!

 

[Bossy Mike]

Trade us your players
Only the really good ones
We'll throw in a 4th

A perfect haiku
The Japanese would glow
Nicely done by you

 

[Mattavarner]

Kessel Ate Hot Dogs
Shanahan Did Not Like That
Now He's A Penguin

Phaneuf Tried His Best
But He Was Still A Pylon
So We Dumped Him Too

 

[ManofSteel55]

Jordan Eberle
To the Islanders for one
Travis Hamonic

 

[OmNomNom]

this thread is such gold
why isn't it getting more
attention today?

 

[OmNomNom]

murray gave us palms
for a second and a third
can we have fowler?

 

[ziploc]

Sbisa for Staal,
To me sounds pretty rad
We won't retain half

A contract anchor
5.7, 5 more years?
Rangers add draft picks

 

[Arthuros]

murray gave us palms
for a second and a third
can we have fowler?

BM was cheap
Didn't want to pay him much
Traded him for scraps

 

[ziploc]

Markstrom is our man
Until Thatcher Demko is
Miller may go now

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Hey guys it's me...Jim...
...Benning...
/end Haiku

 

[Opak]

murray gave us palms

you received a gift
take bieksa and stoner
a debt must be paid


EDIT:

what an offseason
boll, raymond, guenin, schultz
the cup is ours

 

[TT1]

Subby was moody
Traded him for Frenchie Chez
Angry Bird is glad

 

[clunk]

Ev er y sin gle day =6

Eve-ry.

Two syllables. Look it up.

[m302291]

It's the offseason
When these types of threads pop up
Every single day

Too many syllables in last stanza

Nope. Read it again.

Ev er y sin gle day =6

Dunno where you're from but it's common for people with many different accents to just pronounce "every" with 2 syllables ("EV-ree")

Every is clearly a 3 syllable word, even if it isn't colloquially pronounced as such.

The correct way to write this in haiku would be:

"Ev'ry single day"

"Every" can be shortened to "ev'ry" can be functionally shortened to "e'er" even though "e'er" is technically short for "ever"

I count syllables
In all haikus that I read
Do it erry day

Every is clearly a two syllable word. Source: Everywhere on the internet and the official syllable dictionary.

 

[Lempo]

Consider Granlund
After World Cup price goes up
He's a great winger

 

[Lempo]

This thread is cancer
Can summer please be over
God kill me now please

Shut the comp and leave
Go engage in other joys
Maybe Poolparty

 

[Lempo]

Sbisa is hot crap
Yet as Summer turns to Fall
He will get us Kane

Patrick you won't get
Don't be party to a trade
Best be evaded

 

[LeapOnOver]

Hamonic for Hall?
What are you waiting for Snow?
Asleep at the wheel....

 

[LeapOnOver]

Every is clearly a two syllable word. Source: Everywhere on the internet and the official syllable dictionary.

I would have thought it was three myself. Damn English, lol. Ever is two syllables, but every is also two syllables. As an EFL teacher, who knew I would learn something none hockey related and apropos to my job? Can I now rationalize my use of this site as a work reference?

 

[LeapOnOver]

As teams near the cap
GM's mine for hidden gems
diamonds in the rough

 

[Backes to the wall]

Backes to Boston?
My favorite player gone?
Stuck with Hitch again?

Time for perspective.
Life is too short to freak out.
Go Tarasenko!

 

[Mark Kandy]

Patch still got the C
I hope he'll give it to Mr.Shea
If not, he's a piece of *****

 

[Voodoo Child]

Subban got traded!
But please stop the Trouba props;
We're not Montreal.

Trouba's not P.K
JvR the best offer
If traded you'll see.

That said just sign him
5 a year for 5 years, fair
Then it will all stop.

Subban for Weber
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Not that Weber's bad
But that D is now so slow
Pricer, stop da puck.

T. Hall for Larsson
A trade for needs, I get it
The value still sucks.

Really not even
A G prospect like Wedgewood
Added as a plus!?
