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.
