PrintOkay, so I am leery of whittling these down to just ten for fear of leaving someone out, and yet more than ten gets unwieldy. We can't just go on recs because only a few people are using them, and I don't think anyone used them for these. So I'm posting all of them this week and taking suggestions on how to resolve the problem of beaucoup haiku.
This week's contestants republished after the jump.

Hi, i'm Boboma
And I endorse Volorado.
Kirk Herbstreit: And this years Heisman Trophy goes to .. TIM TEBOW, UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA!!!
[ Begin music]
Jim Ross: My.. My god, is that Eric Berry's music??!!
Kirk: I hope not ...
Well thank you my friends.
Although, full disclosure, I was inspired by birdjam, the hand-off haiku, and thus, voted for him.
Eric Berry for Heisman!
Whittling down to 10
So, as soon as I read that, I though “just read them and toss out the obviously bad ones. Executive decision style.” Then I read all of the haikus…and I would have only tossed out two of them. Overall, just a good batch this week.
Especially that one by kidbourbon where he haiku’s and rhymes all at once. Who is that guy?
_________________________________
Eric Berry is better at football than you
Nothing against the kid
but the birdjam haiku captures the hope of the running back corps and the fear that Crompton will try to win the game himself.
Crompton remember to distribute the ball to the skill players and don’t forget the 3 second rule….
Got to go with the clawfense one.
Go Titans!
I don't know why...
But thanks for the vote, stranger.
Be very!
Extra points to KidBourbon for the first rhyming haiku I’ve seen that actually works.
I've had years and years of city life.
