Haiku poems used to describe every SEC football team

SEC football teams as told through the haiku. This has to be the first time Japanese poetry has been used to describe SEC football teams.

I was out to dinner with my co-workers when one of them brought up a local dive bar was having a poetry night. I joked I could throw out some haikus if we wanted to go there after dinner. We never went to that dive bar and I didn’t get to throw out my haiku. So I just had to save them for this space where I wrote a haiku for all 14 SEC football teams.

I’ve always wanted to say I was a published poet on my dating profile and now I can.

If you don’t remember learning about haiku in grade school, it’s a form of Japanese poetry that is a total of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five.

SEC is king
It’s true. It does just mean more
