Here are the highlights.
It started like this:
> We challenge [@metrolosangeles](https://twitter.com/metrolosangeles) to a transit poetry slam. Haikus only.
>
> Your move, LA.

> Believe it or not There's a subway in LA (Transit, not sandwich)[@metrolosangeles](https://twitter.com/metrolosangeles)

> Accept our challenge Your silence is deafening NorCal is best Cal[@metrolosangeles](https://twitter.com/metrolosangeles)

Then LA responded (after our "deafening silence"):
> Metro palms kiss sun Tracks to sand, mountain, stars BART has hammer pants [#transithaiku](https://twitter.com/hashtag/transithaiku?src=hash) [@SFBART](https://twitter.com/SFBART)
>

And Metro fans chimed in:
> [@SFBART](https://twitter.com/SFBART) [@metrolosangeles](https://twitter.com/metrolosangeles) Trains are cleaner, Trips are way cheaper. LA's got you beat

SF made it, misguidedly, about sports:
> BART gives you a ride To your favorite football team What say you, Metro?[#transithaiku](https://twitter.com/hashtag/transithaiku?src=hash) #@metrolosangeles

Then #wewentthere:
> Seventy-three wins This was your reality Yet no ring to show[@SFBART](https://twitter.com/SFBART) [#wewentthere](https://twitter.com/hashtag/wewentthere?src=hash)

They had a point with this one:
> Scientology Won't save you from the traffic Ask John Travolta[#transithaiku](https://twitter.com/hashtag/transithaiku?src=hash) [@metrolosangeles](https://twitter.com/metrolosangeles)

New Yorkers can't sit with us:
> Don't tell [@MTA](https://twitter.com/MTA) About the weather out here They can't sit with us[#transithaiku](https://twitter.com/hashtag/transithaiku?src=hash) [@metrolosangeles](https://twitter.com/metrolosangeles) — SFBART (@SFBART) [June 24, 2016](https://twitter.com/SFBART/status/746471821139030016)

And stay tuned for a Shakespearean sonnet battle to come:
> Thanks for being a good sport [@metrolosangeles](https://twitter.com/metrolosangeles). Next we shall do battle in Shakespearean sonnet! [#ababcdcdefefgg](https://twitter.com/hashtag/ababcdcdefefgg?src=hash) [#transitpoetry](https://twitter.com/hashtag/transitpoetry?src=hash)
