Haiku time! Write a basketball poem, win tickets to Enter the Void
Posted by: Chris Heller in Vox Populi, tags: Basketball, Contests, Haiku, West End CinemaTo celebrate the impending start to Georgetown basketball, we’re throwing another haiku contest!
You know the drill: Submit your best Georgetown basketball-related haiku in the comments, then we’ll pick two favorites on Friday before the men’s team tips off against Old Dominion. (Don’t forget to include your email address in the comment.)
The winners will get pairs of tickets to see Enter the Void, courtesy of West End Cinema. Enter the Void is a “psychedelic melodrama,” which probably means the film will have a whole bunch of drugs, bright colors, and dream sequences.
Get started writing those syllabic-specific poems, gang.

Do we have a four?
Sims, Nate, Hollis or Moses
Keys to the season
Would love to cheer on
Our Georgetown Hoyas Courtside,
prices too damn high.
If we all pregame,
we’ll be far too gone to know
win from loss: NO PAIN.
Paz de la Huerta
Does not play for the Hoyas
But she is pretty
What if this season,
Was your last season, next one
Is too late, Chris Wright
Look at this photograph,
When I do, it makes me laugh
How’d Ohio win?

Sing: Someday, Somehow
Going to make it all right.
Hope it’s this season.
I know this school Duke
That thinks they’re good at B-Ball
But sadly, they fail.
The guards will protect
What the past big men have built
The WAG slogans suck.
Deliver us please
Bring us to the promised land
You sir are Moses
Sell me men’s tickets
To Verizon I will go.
Women’s? No thank you.
