Last week, we asked our readers to submit their best Tom Petty haikus for a chance to win two tickets to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers live at the Beacon Theatre. We got hundreds of submissions, many that displayed some serious die-hard fandom, but there could only be two winners.
But first, the runners-up:
