There are a lot of terms, phrases and ideas synonymous with the name Sean Avery. Something about sloppy seconds immediately comes to mind…and just the general wonderment at how Avery could get a girl like Elisha Cuthbert to begin with, but that’s beside the point. The point is, when a fan thinks of Sean Avery, poetry is by far the least synonymous thing associated with the New York Rangers agitator. Yet one hockey fan took it upon himself to correlate Avery not only with poetry, but with the very beautiful short form of Japanese poety known as Haiku.
While surfing the web today I stumbled across the Sean Avery Random Haiku Generator. This website has one big ugly photo of Sean Avery on the left hand side that actually kind of looks like Brett Hull having an orgasm, but on the right side you can click on the Zen-like image of Avery in meditation form to generate Haiku after Haiku. The poems aren’t very god for the most part and rarely make sense, but occassionally an amusing one comes along. Take this one for example:
Some daft lame Red Wings
Often did cheap shot actress
Sean hockey fart game
Regardless of the quality of the poetry, the idea is there and I support the creativity of a bored hockey fan whose team is out of the playoffs and has nothing better to do. In fact, I encourage all hockey fans to write a Sean Avery Haiku. You remember Haiku poetry from grade school, don’t you? It was about the only type of poetry that anyone succeeded at writing. That’s the one with three lines, the first line has words amounting to five syllables, the second line has seven syllables and the third line has five syllables again. I’d love to see some readers give it a try and see what they come up with. In the meantime, head over to the site and see what you can generate.
