Peyton Manning is once more on top of the world. The Denver Broncos quarterback \u2014 a future Hall of Famer in what may be his final season \u2014 is once more a Super Bowl champion. The Broncos have beaten the Carolina Panthers, 24-10.<\/p>\n

The game fell well short of a quarterback duel, though. Again, it was the Denver defense that led the way, harassing Cam Newton, forcing turnover after turnover and even tacking on a score of their own.<\/p>\n

It was sloppy, it was often ugly, but it was, without a doubt, the biggest game of the year. Naturally, we decided to cover it with the littlest poems we could think of: haiku.<\/p>\n

With a hat tip to our colleagues at WBUR’s Only a Game<\/a>, where they’ve long been asking listeners for haiku<\/a>, we decided it was time for us to try our hand at the art form: a three-line poem, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the third.<\/p>\n

(And yes, haiku-purists, we know the poems are supposed to be about nature, too. But give us some leeway here.)<\/p>\n

Think of it as a syllable-conscious live-blog. We tweeted our updates in haiku as the game went on, retweeting your<\/em> contributions and doing it all using the hashtag #SuperBowlHaiku<\/a>. You can find all the tweets above.<\/p>\n

Now, you might be asking yourself why, exactly, we covered the big game with all these tiny poems. Good question. That’s because \u2014 well, because this is NPR.<\/p>\n
