JV Hai-ku Poems by Assistant Coach Bill Kenley CC02
Ryan Feeney
Every day it seems…
A different pair.
Asics, Nikes… Mizunos too.
Zach Sackers
A white t-shirt with
Indiana in red ink
"I don't speak nerd."
Tim Moore
"That was fun." He says.
And suddenly I remember.
That was the whole point.
Robbie Turner
A serious face.
Ice cup in hand, he sits down.
Coach looks and moves on.
Nick Poynter
"What?" He asks again.
It's the way we start talking.
I look. He says, "What?"
Brandon Hood
The look on his face
Suggests pain - a lack of hope.
This kid deserves more.
Matt Stover
He says four or five
Words all year long, all pleasant.
The next DeMasie?
Brandon Stuckey
You can tell he's here
For good. He's got that something
That makes a runner.
Corey Winzenread
Floating like a deer
He bounds through the wetlands.
Cory Winzenread?
John Rigsby
Versailles in summer
And this new guy wears my shoes.
I like him already.
Rick Petersen
Every JV race
You should wait for the straglers
To see his blazing kick.
Jeremy Hopkins
Darkness becomes light
And we make the turn at the park.
It is Hopkins time.
Justin Wedmore
The kid knows music.
He's thinking about a Triumph.
Welcome to the team.
Nick Sinders
As the leaves turn red
Coach and Nick run together.
He's come a long way.
Ryan Anderson
His foot is around
His neck. And he's acting like
This is all normal.
SteveO Grattenthaller
Like a porcupine.
He may be small, but he don't
Take jive from no one.
Steven Prunier
The man wears racing
Shorts. And leads in other ways
A faster guy can't.
