It's Time for a Poetry Slam Contest!

That's right. It's time to put on your thinking cap and come up with your best soccer haiku. What is a haiku you ask? A haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that consists of 17 morae (syllables) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern. An example of a haiku is:

Dribble, pass, dribble
Past the defenders I go
To score a quick goal

What's the prize you ask? Well, with our Red Carpet Poetry Slam Fundraising event coming up on April 2nd, the winner will receive 2 complimentary tickets to the event! Visit our webpage and look under news and events for more information on our fundraising event!

To Enter: email me, Julie at jeisen@americascores.org with your soccer haiku, name, and phone number best to reach you at. Please put Slam contest in the subject line of the email. Contest begins today and will end on Thursday March, 26th at 5PM.
