Tiger Woods Haiku

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the haiku form, it should have only three lines with a total of 17 syllables. The first line should have a total of five syllables. The second line should have seven syllables. The third line should have five syllables. It is a type of short form poetry that originated in Japan.

I found this haiku in my files. I wrote it a while ago, but now seems to capture Tiger’s situation quite well.

TIGER WOODS HAIKU

Tiger Woods is not
the player he once was. Time
is not in his bag.
