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?

my phone is safe now
next to my bed on its throne
it's never alone
On my hip it sits
Holstered like a six-shooter
Ready, Set and Click.
sitting nice and snug
next to an old piece of gum
in my pocket son.
In my hand it sits
Showing me places and mail
I love my CrackBerry
Out just like the wind,
My Blackberry is now gone,
At night I still cry,
Storm will you come home,
I miss touching your body,
Now I am just alone
my storm is with me
when i enter bathroom stalls.
plop, plop, type and send.
If that doesn't win SOMETHING, then this contest is rigged for sure. Gave me a good ol' LOL moment. BRAVO!

Now I am alone
*Disregard the first one, I added too many words thanks*
Gotta Love this site
WHERE Kevin and Craig are Kings
Crackberry.com
Oh my Crackberry
Let's see how you changed my life
First, you are a phone
Now I am not late
I read my email
You are in my heart
Crackberrycurve
Under my thumb
clicking away
to find out
WHERE to go for lunch
Silent on the desk
Covered in my fingerprints
Brewing like a storm
WHERE is my Berry?
It is outside in the cold
While I sit at work
I cannot use it
WHERE my desk is located
Now I feel naked
sleeping in a spot
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.
WHERE is your BlackBerry smartphone Right Now?
On my hip next to my whip!
Ready on my desk
Smudges kiss the darkened screen
light blinks red again
My Thumbs begin to blur
where my blackberry sits in hands
My Thoughts now twittered
Charging on my desk
Is where my Blackberry Storm sits
Waits for me to play
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.
Blackberry on desk
or is it in my pocket
Damn, its lost again
Sitting in its case.
Waiting for the blinking light
Driving me insane
Curve 2 in my bra
Can't remember WHERE, I call
and my boobies shake
You are awesome!! I'll be shocked if this one doesn't win!
I too have a happy resting spot for my Bold against my m-m-m-milky w-w-w-white bosom. lol I love your haiku!
With me as I poop
it rests on toilet paper
in between page loads
Where Is My Blackberry
Perhaps You, Crackberry Will Deliver
Blackberry, I Do Not Know
Through Earth and the Stars
Flying through the Universe
Nope, in my Pocket.
Face-side down at desk
So boss cannot see the screen
Depicting Hold'Em
The couch is WHERE I
lie, ready to buzz and chirp.
I hope I don't DIE!
Asleep on my desk
That is WHERE my Blackberry
Rests. I wish I could...
Why do I use WHERE?
To help find my way around,
All around Texas.
Oh look, there it is
In my Army uniform
Right where I left it.
With me as I poop
it rests on toilet paper
in between page loads
I love this one!!! Why?? Because I wrote it!
My Storm is single
Awaits to mingle
Hoping for a win
Before commits sin
My Storm not complete
Haiku holds its fate.
In my pocket.
Popping the Corn. For
WHERE would I be without work?
Why, BlackBerryless!
Can't find my Berry
Want to download the WHERE app
oops, talking on it!
where Black monolith
just out of reach yet tasted
now my Crack opens wide
Where is my smartphone?
In the hand ready to use,
Oh where is the storm?
Where storm sits ready
Waiting, warm, lifeline, tether
Pocket lint be damned
