Vox haiku contest!: Win two free tickets to She’s Out of My League
Posted by: Molly Redden in Vox Populi, tags: Contests, Haiku, Poetry, She's Out of My League
Vox scored two sets of two free tickets to a pre-screening of the rom-com She’s Out of My League, which doesn’t hit theaters until March 12, that we want to give away to you, dear readers. And to determine how we’re going to give these bad boys away, we’re stealing an awesome idea from New York Magazine: haiku contest.
The tickets are for tomorrow, Tuesday, February 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Georgetown AMC theater.
To enter, leave your best Georgetown-related haiku below in the comments section, and enter your @georgetown.edu e-mail as your e-mail address. (Yes, you have to be a Georgetown student to win). Submissions are due at noon on Tuesday and we’ll announce and notify the winner at about 1 p.m.
So, bards and rhapsodists of Georgetown, have at it! Remember, haikus are 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables, and Vox will be counting. To help you get inspired, here’s Voice Leisure editor Chris Heller’s example haiku:
“An ode to Philly’s
Ranch loved, now forever lost
Fuck you, ANC”

Do you think haikus
Should be considered poems?
They don’t even rhyme
decent b-ball team
a ridiculous snowfall
coffee and jesuits
Movie looks awful
The nerd from Tropic Thunder?
Todd Olson likes it.
Look at this photo
Every time I look, I laugh
What’s on Joey’s head?

@ GUSA says
Please stop wasting my money
Damn GUSA to hell.
Money goes to Towne
Appetite goes to Wisey’s
No cash left for films
Whoops, I broke the rules
But I don’t write Georgetown songs
I sing about life.
Patent Pending,

Sitting here alone
Another Manic Monday
Spent Doing Nothing…
Wisey’s. Tombs. Leo’s.
All unsatisfactory.
Ledo’s square pizza.
Dear Georgetown Ladies
It is fucking cold outside
Put on some real clothes.
this movie allows
an escape from midterms that
im not studying for
Some haikus are great,
But some don’t make any sense.
Refrigerator.
These fake musicians
Populate the Vox comments
They should get a life.
meh is so lazy
they plagiarized from threadless
so not cool, people

Still stuck at the bank;
It’s 10 PM in London.
Do not graduate.
too many rich kids
who don’t understand real life
georgetown isn’t it
I am like Georgetown.
Good at basketball, catholic,
but am also broke.
Where are the real men?
Hook-up culture eludes me.
I demand love too.
laziness indeed
couldn’t remember wording
thanks for the link Geoff
I am a real man
Hooking up eludes me too
Meet me now at gates?
i’m jack the bull dog
root for hoya saxa
or i’ll tear you up
Ninety-nine Days is
Forcing me into hatred
For my belov’d Tombs.
Post Script: Not really.
But fear penetrates the depths
Of this fragile heart.
Why do Ninety Nine
at the same dank bar, have you
nothing else to do
We in S-F-S
care not for your College ways.
Madeline Albright, God.
Learn how to count, bro.
