however jejune 
and bestrewn the team's actions

One of my favorite quotes is from Wayne Gretzky:

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

As of today, I've taken 123 shots at writing great haiku! Some hits, some misses. Having a lot of fun along the way! 

Here's another from Wayne:
"A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be."

he already made the shot
before he took it

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
