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.

Name sounds like a beer
But it feels like the hard stuff
When he tackles you

Jon , Sudbury

Down south on the range
Fifteen games will be the streak
Victory, Defense, Bruschi

Michael , Wrentham

Quarterback eyes field
Thinks he has an easy pass
Defensive touchdown!

Adin , Cleveland, Ohio

Teddy Bruschi Haiku
Write poem for Ted?
Intercepts and Elvis hair
One ring for each fist

Tom, Bellingham

Number Fifty-Four
Catalyst for the defense
Motor never stops

Will , Gloucester

Bruschi, ferocious
Leaving bodies on the field
A football player

Luke , Brighton

limps back to the bench
might be a broken femur
or just a big psych...

Ian, Brighton

This 'small' linebacker
Defends the run and the pass
With equal aplomb

Will, Gloucester

destroyed marshall faulk
plays saxophone in a group
a renaissance man

Eric , Centreville, VA

Tedy B, plays tight
Tackles fast, interception
Super Bowl, at hand

June , Buxton, Maine
