Mornington 5-7-5
help
Mornington Crescent
Can be played in Haiku Form
Let the game commence!
Let me start this game
By playing at Belsize Park
Home at Edgware Road
Wise move for Boolbar
But he could be yet undone
With my South Harrow

Undo Boolbar? *grin*
I'll keep it buttoned with Bank
Home at Chalk Farm [natch]
Think you are clever?
What about Dollis Hill loop?
That will spike your guns!
The Dollis Hill loop
Is a cunning ploy to play
So early in game.
The strongest move
Is the move that is not made.
Pass.
Low centripetal
Force allows a Campbell Spin
Settling at Ongar
[Raak] Why sell us short?
You're missing five syllables!
Starting at Moor Park.
The loud silences:
Like the closed river crossings.
Tower Gateway, fring!
Walthamstow Central:
Waiting for the moment when
Someone bifurcates.
I'll trifurcate then!
Angel / Balham / Ickenham
And... home at Goodge Street.
Reunifying
With West Ruislip; puts me in spoon.
What a way to start.
I will start with Bank
Placing blue tokens along
The diagonal.
Invoking Elst's Ploy
I believe I can straddle
To Fulham Broadway.
Not moving but yet
Pushing up the LV by
Playing a *farkle*
The wrong sort of rain
Pulls down outer zones' LV.
Tottenham Court Road.
Looking for open track
North or South? No try Amersham
That should raise back th LV.
Looking for clear track
North or South? Try Amersham
That should raise LV.

The rules of haiku
Are of counting syllables:
Five, seven, then five.

As the game title says, "5-7-5"...

Capping the LV
To no more than 3.2
With Walthamstow. Yes.
Crossharbour & Lon...
...don Arena is quite diff..
...icult to make fit!
Going around but
Not quite a circle. Now is
the time for Oval.
Shapeshifting cascade!
Squashing poor Boolbar's Oval
With my posh Sloane Square
Never mind all that
put purple podumes on Bank
no diagonals!
Now I join the game
The start is all important
But I must *farkle*
I too can now start
Heading south of the river
Ho! To Clapham South.
Rebounding Software
Into High Street Kensington
I strile to Uxbridge.
Yet more hopefuls come,
Try to follow at their peril,
Knip for you; Elm Park
Pickering northwest --
Insufficient red tokens --
Harrow-on-the-Hill.
I pick up my prize
Two gleaming silver podumes!
And move to Morden
High Street Kensington.
A move which sets up a spike
Along DLR.
Red token from Bank, Power failure - Northern Line
Cuts LV in half.
sorry

Red token from Bank,
Power failure - Northern Line
Cuts LV in half.

Looks like I have been
badly derailed at Elm Park.
Dammit. Bugger. F***!
I cannot join, then.
That strands me at Upminster
I'll spectate from there.
