NBA Haikus

This blog was made to improve my writing so I hope haikus will help.

Welcome to the league

And mediocre franchise

My intention with maintaining Crying Wolfe was to use my observations, perspective, and research into history and stats to educate readers. And maybe a laugh or sharp nose exhalation. But what I have discovered most through this process has been my education about the NBA and its stars. It's the lonely blogger equivalent of making friends along the way on this journey.

The metaphor carries water, though. It has been an iterative exercise to find just the right stats that actually create a narrative. I daydream at my desk at work about the next NBA headline, the next trade, the next winner of today's games.

The writing on this site could be repulsive for all I care. I know it's not, I mean come on, but I know it could be and it would not articulate how this blog has become my beacon for constructing passion and investing in a creative pursuit. I think the design is cheeky, the writing is wry and informed, and at the end of the day, I'm proud of it.

So ... um ... I guess I just wanted to jot that down. It is, however, the proper introduction for this list of Haikus about the NBA. They could be unintelligible, unimportant, and utterly uninspiring, but I am having fun with it and I hope you have enjoyed it, too :)

The Spurs could only

He can't shoot. He is

He is Ben Simmons.

They are quiet now.

But they won't be soon. Olapido's

Fear the fro. Then fear

The beard. Now fear the headband.
