Steelers vs. Dolphins haiku contest
The Steelers beat the Dolphins in a squeaker, and now it’s time for this week’s Steelers-Dolphins haiku contest.
The contest rules are simple. You must summarize the Steelers-Dolphins game in a haiku. A haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that contains only 3 lines. The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables. Typically, haiku do not rhyme.
Please note, the emphasis is on syllables, not words. Remember 5/7/5.
I start the competition by offering a haiku of my own. Then you readers write a haiku of your own to try to beat mine. On Thursday I will announce this week’s contest winner. But remember, your haiku has to be better than mine. If none of your entries are better than mine, then I take home the prize.
Here is my entry:
Despite injuries
Steelers still manage to win
Thank you God……and refs.
Okay readers, your turn. Lets see who can come up with the best haiku about the Steelers-Dolphins game.
Are you ready for some haiku?!!

We’ll miss Aaron Smith
1Another goal line replay
Black jerseys are hot
We’re now 5 and 1
2No fines for James Harrison
It was a good week.
The Dolphins were tough,
3Big Ben almost had the goal,
Smith will be huge loss.
Steelers big road win,
4The Dolphins are still crying,
Cause Big Ben Fumble.
We tried to give game
5‘Phins did not want. kicked field goals
Refs just went with it
Too many? I put in order of quality (IMO)
Steeler Nation bliss
Roger Goodell happy too
Dolphins not so much
or
Aaron Smith goes down
The standard remains the same
Steelers win! (Barely)
or
Steelers are lucky?
Loosing Aaron Smith ain’t so
Bring on Ziggy Hood
or
Beat fins by a hair
6Do Dolphins have any hair?
Those don’t anymore
Couldn’t resist. One from a ravens fan here. Still love me some ravens-stillers action! Best rivalry in the league.
wow are they lucky
7just like two thousand and five
refs hand them the gem
Over sixteen games
8Would rather have healthy Smith
Than a single win
Went for a fish fry
9With the first two plays I died
The win made it five
Bruce Arians sucks
10We can not maintain a lead
A win Nonetheless
Luck be a lady
11Maybe Ben Roethlisburgher
Either way, a win
Who recovered it
12The Dolphins probably did
Oh well Steelers win
Instant replay fail /
13“By rule” refs made into goat /
Steelers should have lost.
