Foosball Table Haiku, or as we like to call it, FoosKu, is an open project for the foosball community. Our goal is to establish a collection of FoosKu from all over the world, to celebrate the awesomeness of foosball. Your FoosKu should reflect the sublime beauty of the game (or the foosball table itself,) it should be free of foul language, and should have the correct number of syllables to qualify as a haiku*.

Every Month, the visitor who submits the best FoosKu in the comment box below, as determined by our panel of experts, will win a crisp $10 bill. I know, I know… Start writing!

*This is the correct syllable structure for a Haiku:

Five syllables here
Seven in the second line
And five more down here.

That was a haiku too, did you notice? Ok forget it, just to review…

5 Syllables
7 Syllables
5 Syllables

That’s it! It doesn’t have to rhyme, it doesn’t have to sound “poetic”, it just has to have the right amount of syllables, and be related to Foosball. To submit a haiku about foosball or your foosball table post a comment below…
