Poetry 101: Win Free Tickets To The Rittenhouse Row Fall Gathering

Posted by Jason Sheehan on September 19th, 2012

Hey guess what! The Rittenhouse Row Fall Gathering is tomorrow evening at the Comcast Center and we’ve got a couple pairs of last minute tickets to give away. Since the Fall Gathering is all about the booze (with a few snacks thrown in so that the whole party doesn’t just go completely sideways), this basically means that we’re offering a few lucky Fooboozers the chance to drink for free from some of the best cocktail bars in town (plus Applebee’s), and all you have to do to win the tickets is write us a poem…

Okay, well actually what you have to do is write us the best poem of all those who choose to enter, but because we’re on a deadline here and because this is all about the boozin’, I’m gonna make this simple for you. There are only two rules.

Rule 1) All poems must be in haiku form.

Rule B) All poems must be about drinking or bars or drinking at bars or liquor or drinking liquor or drinking liquor at bars.

Oh, and one more, all poems must be submitted before 9 o’clock tomorrow morning because we’re going to be picking winners at about 9:01 and announcing them shortly after.

So that’s it. All of you get to scribbling, and good luck.

      I’d write on Hop Sing
      Laundramat, but its rules say
      No haikus allowed.

      “Laundromat,” that is.
      Is there a penalty for
      Typos caused by drink?

      Bar my home away

      Thirsty for fashion
      My drinks as neat as a pleat

      drinks
      beer and liquor
      bar

    • We’ve all been there

      When words won’t fix her
      Thank you, dutiful liquor
      Makeshift elixir

    • We’ve all been there

      Suspend this in time,
      Dim light, shy grin, a fine wine
      Merry meets sublime

    • We’ve all been there

      Philly drinkers, hail!
      To love! To loss! To nothing!
      Bring my beer and shot.

      PS- Can you tell I have nothing going on Thursday night?

      Drops of ambrosia pouring
      Call of the flavor cornucopia
      Mingles in the chic display

    • Wine Chick

      Glasses clinking on the zinc
      Polish off those bottles
      Footsteps weaving on the pavement

    • Wine Chick

      Glasses clinking zinc
      Polish off all those bottles
      Footsteps weaving home

    • Remington

      Neither friend nor foe.
      Ally to seize the moment,
      Then, alone am I.

    • Matthew Forstater

      rich deep substance
      volume in great flavors
      consistency ahh yes
