Write The Best Zune Haiku, Win 10 Stickers

I just got my hands on a stack of ten stickers with the Zune logo:

And I'd love to give them all to you. But there's a catch. You've got to write a Zune haiku. And your Zune haiku has to be the best Zune haiku I've ever seen. And if your Zune haiku is the best Zune haiku I've ever seen, I'll both publish it on this blog and send you the stickers.

Leave your Zune haiku in the comments. Be sure to include your email so I can get the stickers to you. Have fun!

Edit Tuesday 3:25 PM: The Zune haiku contest ends at 12:00 am this Friday, 1 September (Pacific time). Good luck!

throbbing beats give birth fiery contemplation tracks burned in the walk hope you got the imagery there - half imagining a commercial, half thinking about my commute. Sitting on the train, beats throbbing in my brain, stirring up something primal, thinking about another day in the rat race, but making today different, getting off the train and feeling like today I'm gonna bust the doors down kick some serious ass it feels like the whole city trembles with each step I take.
