Poem a Day December #19

Sorry to leave y’all high and dry over the holidays. As many (i.e., none) of you know, as a result of my hard living, I was recently (self) diagnosed by real (WebMD) doctors as having attention-deficit-hyperactivity-drunken-postpartum-traumatic-stress/depression disorder...or ADHD-PpTSDD. So, yeah let’s blame that for the poetry drought. Also, as a result of said disorder, I am unable to choose which version of the following haiku I prefer. Can you please pick for me?

The Breakdown

Someone said ready,

set, SNAP! And she did, passing

his head through her legs.

Someone said ready,

set, SNAP! And she did, hiking

his head through her legs.

Someone said ready,

set, SNAP! And she did, spiking

his head as she scored.
