Now that the Celtics season is sunsetting, I feel called to write some poetry in memoriam and with hope of what is to come.
For what was supposed to be such a promising season to be wrecked by COVID and injuries with such impunity is truly tragic.
But the Celtics, and we, the fans, persevere.
And now – without further adieu, the expressions of my heart in the form of the art that is Haiku.
Jayson Tatum
You mostly played well,
But COVID got you badly
True greatness awaits.
Jaylen Brown
An amazing start
All Star this season, but hurt
Still getting better
Smarf
Working your butt off
Strong emotional leader
Jack up less bad shots?
Robert Williams III
Dunked into my heart
Blocked out the negative vibes
Our beloved center
Kemba Walker
Might be washed by now
Trying your best to be good
Oh so expensive
Even Fournier
Vous pouvez marquer
Je pense que tu iras mieux
Une bonne signature?
Tristan Thompson
Not much to say Trist
You tried but Rob is better
Thanks for stopping by
Payton Pritchard
Fun to watch shoot balls
You made some good 3 pointers
Celts future 6th man
Nesmith
Improved all year long
Impressed with late season play
Useful floor spacer
Tacko Fall
My huge adult son
Watching you play is pure joy
Please never leave us
GrantWilliam
You are not good, sad!
At least you are very nice
Go play Catan please
Luke Kornet
Basketball was played
Saw you doing things out there
Good job doing stuff
Everyone else
I do not care much
About your Haikus, you bored
Me, so I don’t care
