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.

Number fifty four
Courageous Fearless leader
true FOOTBALL player

Marc , Arlington MA

Blackness, seeing stars
Awaken to falling snow
Tatooed by Bruschi

S.W., Lee, NH

Hands that never quit
Come to play every Sunday
Bruschi is my name

Bob, Newton

helmet poised for attack
arms flexed, legs ready, feet firm
tedy tackles the runner

Larry , somerville,ma.

He's out there, hunting
Opponents avert their eyes
Pray he won't catch you.

Chris, Boston

No way to resist
Plastic, bone, blood, guts and heart
Human Torpedo

Dan, Holbrook

I see him lurking.
There's the snap, poof, he is gone.
The quickness, the pain.

Tony , Dracut

Shrewd and skilled man Tedy
provides enduring delight -
Snow in Foxboro.

Joe , Needham

Fifty four plays tough,
Intense eyes survey the field,
Quarterbacks tremble.

bob , watertown

Buffalo Bill weeps.
Wishes Bills could win Big Game.
Sorry, no Bruschi.

Jim , Pepperell
