Xavier, quite the feat
Our champs they did twice defeat
But revenge is sweet

When the Musketeers’
Fans are forced to shed some tears
Huskies win this year

Samson with the slams
Deep balls from Alex and Cam
Let’s go, UConn fam!

Fun team to haiku.
Is it Xav-yer? Xay-vee-yer?
Or Ex-ay-vee-yer?
This is the question
It is always a challenge
Let's give it a look
Xavier playing tough
not easy beating Miller
UConn's growth showing
Xavier, quite the feat
Our champs they did twice defeat
But revenge is sweet
Two above count two
But then comes "Xaviest" (three)
With "weren't," not "we're not"
They weren't content
With merely being xavy.
Xaviest? Too far.
Followed by this one
Still more ambiguity
"Con-fer-ence"? "Con-frence?"
X-men flop again
but not at the box office
Conference road wins are gold
Syllable counting
Remains a stressful duty
Self-chosen, but still...

Ex-ay-vyer is three
In yet a dif-er-ent way
Just win the damn game

Whether two or three
Syllables, it still breaks the
5-7-5 rule
I'm not seeing it
That doesn't mean I'm not wrong
I just don't see it

All too doggone true
Went for five seven seven
Why? Before coffee
What am I missing?
You read line three as seven?
Con-fer-ence, con-frence

I'd welcome the chance
To say, "Oh, now I get it"
But this far, I don't

In subvocalese
Hyphens are syllable breaks
To be continued?

Traditionally,
Haiku rules are not so strict
There is some leeway

If you go over
It is called "jiamari"
Under: "jitarazu"

I purposefully
Went over with the final
Part in that haiku

mistaken idea
then poorly executed
thus compound errors
