Ever write a haiku? Give it a try -- haiku is a Japanese verse form consisting of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

Here's an example:

Eyes dart back and forth
Chest hits, arms grab, runner falls
Tedy rules the field

A panel of judges will scream out the haikus in our best Howard Dean voices, and pick the one we like best. The winner will get a nice cheesy prize from our Marketing Dept.

Man in the middle
Now you see him, now you don't
But you sure feel him

Johnny , North Easton

Block him hai(ku) or low(ku)
This MLB will rush right through
On 54, no run, no score yeah, I know...not technically a haiku, a bit unconventional, but hey that's Tedy as well...:-)

G. , Georgetown

Linebacker or beer?
Each will knock you off your feet
Boston loves Bruschi

www.bostonsportsblog.com, Boston

Body - Strong as an ox
Hands - Soft like a baby's ass
Brains - He's wicked smart

Russell , New Orleans (Formerly Hull, MA)

Heart, soul, and passion
Blaze on an emerald field
That is Ted Bruschi

Scott , Brookline

Hits runningbacks hard
Picks off balls and runs them back
Quarterback's nightmare

Adi , Cleveland

Tedy, Oh Tedy
Please don't be injured today!
I'll rub out that cramp!

Lori, MA

Like a teddy bear
But with not quite as much hair
But equally cute!

JT, Norfolk, MA

Not going to Pro Bowl
Yet going to Super Bowl
Tedy Bruschi standing tall

Roy, Holbrook

So where did it go?
The second "d" in "Teddy"
The Patriots D!

Jason , Melrose
