Create Your Best Smack-Talking New York or Boston Haiku

FanSnap Rivalry Haiku Smackdown

Bring your best

There is nothing like a rivalry - with the blood and guts, sweat and tears, and heroic moments. Hey, and nothing says rivalry like a haiku. What, that makes no sense, you say? Wait there’s more. It’s a competition! That’s right, it’s the first FanSnap Rivalry Haiku Smackdown.

How does it work?

It’s simple. Just write a haiku poem in support of your team (or against your rival). Send it out on twitter together with the URL for your team.
For example:

(If your team is New York)
It’s that time of year
See the yankees win big time
See the red sox lose
http://fansnap.com/YanksHaiku

or

(If your team is Boston)
Rivalry is fun
yanks will get spanked again
Oh what fun it is

How do haikus work again?

You may remember from school days, a haiku is just a simple poem of three lines.

Five syllables in the first line.
Seven syllables in the second.
Five syllables in the third.

That’s it.

How do we keep score?

Just create and send your haiku. Brag on your squad. Talk smack about the bad guys. Ask your friends to resend (or “retweet”) it – they will just send your original message (together with the URL), preceded by “RT @yourtwitterid ”
