Haiku Tuesday: A New York State of Mind

Something about the Finger Lakes region makes me wax poetic. Is it the trees, the lush greenery, the rolling hills and a road course that ranks as one of my favorite tracks of all time?

Maybe.

But what's making me wax haiku-tic (and yes, that's a word, don't bother to look it up) has more to do with the results of this past weekend's IZOD IndyCar Series race. So if you're looking for poetry about a tree, Google Joyce Kilmer.

Haiku-ification (don't look that one up either) after the jump...

Star-divide

Slow on the racetrack.
Some say she is a chicane.
Truly a hazard.

Epic broadcast fail.
We want to see passing live.
Not just on replays.

I hear Marty Reid.
My mind flashes to Vegas.
A smarmy emcee.

GoDaddy? No go.
Danica saw the whole field.
All ahead of her.

Power wins from pole.
This is the third time this year.
His full-time ride? Earned.

Frico Suave's mad.
Blames Milka for restart gaffe.
Ashley's off the hook.

Never imagined.
The end days are close at hand.
I missed Jack Arute.

Get well, Bob Jenkins.
We could have used you Sunday.
Severe class shortage.

Just one week remains.
Then we all see the future.
I am excited.

New York Haiku thinks it's better than you. Knicks still suck.

That didn’t take long
it’s “The Empire Strikes Back”
Red Cars dominate

Ryan Hunter-Reay
Now full time? Thank you, IZOD
Best sponsor ever?

Simona getting
Much more air time, sadly it’s
For the wrong reasons

Perhaps my rooting
For the Swiss Miss jinxes her
So I will shut up

Oh man Marty Reid
From what broadcasting school
Did you “graduate”?

F*** off, ABC
You used to be awesome, man
Delta Force themes rocked

The start of the race?
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Tires
Are what win races

Restarts missed, Princess
Getting too much air. JUST ONE
MORE ABC RACE!
