BlackBerry Haiku Contest!

Look at that! CrackBerry contest week is barely over and we're bringing you another chance to win a BlackBerry smartphone! And this time it's not luck that will win your BlackBerry of choice, it's your creativity and talent. Full details from our friends at Where after the break ...

BlackBerry Haiku Contest

In honor of the WHERE mobile application launching on the BlackBerry Storm smartphone, WHERE has partnered with CrackBerry.com to give away a free BlackBerry smartphone to one of its readers.

I know what you are thinking: free BlackBerry smartphone! Where do I sign up? The contest rules are easy. In haiku form, answer the question: WHERE is your BlackBerry smartphone right now? Leave it in the comments section of this post either in text or link to a YouTube video.

Top 10 haikus will be chosen by the WHERE team on March 10th. Then it's up to you, CrackBerry community, to vote for the winner. The winner will be notified via email on March 16th and will have a choice of a BlackBerry smartphone or Gift Card towards the BlackBerry store, value up to $400.

Example Haikus: WHERE is your BlackBerry smartphone Right Now? Here are a couple of examples to get you started:

Nestled in a warm
Place, my BlackBerry smartphone
Waits for a loud ring

In my pocketbook
Probably at the bottom
Under my lipstick

How to Score Additional Points:
1. Standard Haiku format is 3 lines of 5,7,5 syllables. Please adhere to this format, or your entry may be disqualified. Prime Numbers Rule!
2. Get an A or B list celebrity to read your Haiku on video and automatically Win! Note, Gary Coleman does not count as an A or B list celebrity but will be admitted under the condition that he reads your haiku AND says, "Whatcha talking about Willis"
3. Mention WHERE in your Haiku and automatically get a brownie point
4. How are we determining the top 10? The ones that make us laugh the hardest. Simple enough, right?

About Where: A little more about the WHERE mobile application. WHERE is a location-based application that uses GPS to help you find people, places and things. Whether it's tracking down the cheapest gas, getting reviews to a new restaurant, satisfying your craving for a latte, or helping you find your friends in a crowded city, WHERE delivers the best in local information from Eventful, Yelp, GasBuddy, Zipcar, Starbucks, Buddy Beacon and more. WHERE also lets you see your places on a map, get directions and share locations with friends. WHERE can be downloaded from Built for BlackBerry.com and Where.com.

My Blackberry is now gone,
At night I still cry,

I miss touching your body,
Now I am just alone

Covered in my fingerprints
Brewing like a storm

It is outside in the cold
While I sit at work
I cannot use it
WHERE my desk is located
Now I feel naked

a pocket close to my heart
awaiting your call

Where's my BlackBerry?
Unfortunately it is
only in my dreams.

Were I to win this
contest, then my BlackBerry
would be in my hand.

WHERE do you think boy?
My bold isn't just a mere toy.
It lies on my desk waiting to bring me joy (email,sms,mms)

Thanks Crackberry and Haiku!

The berry is black,
Awaiting input from me,
Languishing in box.

Charging on my desk
Is where my Blackberry Storm sits
Waits for me to play

By: PossumPete | Date: Thu, 03/05/2009 - 17:23

Where is my cool Storm?
It's in my black Body Glove.
It's warmer in there.
I'm sitting in class
and I'm bored to death in here.
I sneak a peek at
it's colorful screen right now
and see a contest
on Crackberry blogs.
If I create a Haiku
I might win something.
So here I go as
I try to keep the cadence -
it's 5, 7, 5.

Waiting for the blinking light
Driving me insane

To help find my way around,
All around Texas.
Oh look, there it is
In my Army uniform
Right where I left it.

My Storm is single
Awaits to mingle
Hoping for a win
Before commits sin
My Storm not complete
Haiku holds its fate.
