Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The second line has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line has five syllables.
The Movie Haiku Contest (MHC) is open to every member of the FWFR site.
To enter, all you have to do is think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. Simple as that. Also, haikus may be risque, but nothing explicit please.
Only one entry per person as per The Blevins Rule. However, you are allowed to edit your existing entry until 9pm Tuesday FWFR time. *
Voting.
If you have entered the MHC, then you have to vote. If you do not vote, you'll lose 3 points from your total. This could mean the difference between the adoration and envy of your fellow Fwiffers or being the feckless butt of our jokes!
You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away. It'll be like a lurker vote!
---------------------------------
For each round, you get to vote for your three favourite MHC. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfrer a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message) here, to Me. I'll resent it, but do it anyway.
You may vote only once.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 18JUL FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Oh that was so wrong
Sorry for missing it. I've been off the site for the last few days.
In the spirit of fairness, I looked at the list on screen and considered what I would have voted for prior to studying the results post, and found it would not have altered the results (I guess this is true anyway since the -3 failed to get rid of me). So, thank you thank you and what a sweet gift to see I won on my birthday.
I will be back in a bit as I go searching for an un-haiku'd classic.

Well, let's get on with it. A 3 point deduction to Sludge for not voting.  This could cost him dearly! 
In 3rd place we have on 5 points (3,1,1) our debutante, ChocolateLady! Yeah!
In 2nd place we have 8 points (3,2,2,1) (and clearly with the best haiku in my unbiased opinion, we have... ME!!! YeeHa!
And now for our winner....
In first place, with 13 points (3,3,3,3,2,2 and -3 for not voting  ) we have the one, the only, SLUDGE!!! Hip Hip Hooray!
So, when Sludge reappears he can set the next haiku competition.
Meanwhile please feel free to post your alternative haikus and/or congratulations below.
