Hoyku

By Hoya Hoops

Alright, for the first edition of Hoya Hoops’ Game Time, we’ll be writing Hoykus, poetry about the beauty of Georgetown Basketball. But before we get to explaining the rules, here is an excerpt from the classic television show Cheers:

Sam: Oh, come on Diane, writing poetry is easy. All it has to do is rhyme.
Diane: Sam, it doesn’t have to rhyme.
Sam: Even easier!

With that in mind, it’s time for you to put on your Japanese poetry thinking caps. Remember, it’s not a Haiku (or HOY-ku in our case) unless the first line has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, and the third and final line has five syllables. Got it? 5-7-5. Here’s ours:

The longer he stays
The more likely we succeed
Long Live Jim Boeheim

Think you can do better? Post your own Hoykus in the comments.

   Roy, Roy, Roy! Hibbert.

   I think it’s time to
   “Cheer for victory today.”
   Know what I’m saying?

   Actually, I can make it better:

   I can’t wait to say
   “Cheer for victory today”
   When the Hoyas play.

   Now it rhymes.

   Streaking down the court
   To the floor with a hooker
   Chvotkin is the man.
