C'mon, somebody extend Series 1. I don't want to extend my own pitcher.
So what's the procedure for writing poultry to go along with the pitchers? Does it have to be haiku? I'm not eager to see another typical fight over what constitutes haiku (types like me, who learned it was 5/7/5 syllables in seventh grade, vs. the "I studied in Japan and channel Basho" types who never explain what the rules are but are always eager to point out that your haiku isn't a haiku). Can we each choose our own form?
How about I start the ball rolling with one that's so easy to top, it'll encourage further entries? (See, I'm thinking of the greater good...)

The rules for haiku? Why ever should I know?
I'm merely a luminous blue-faced albino
who's taking my friend for some ferris wheel fun
in the eye-frying light of a nuclear sun.
