Leave Piggy alone, give the conch to Ralph, and teach those boys some manners, as Peter Brook explores that age-old adage that kids do the darndest things. Let it fly for Lord of the Flies
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The second line of a haiku poem has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line of a haiku poem 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. * And your votes must be cast by 9PM Wednesday fwiffer-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 Stalean
2 pts Conan
1 pt Benj (Gotta get a jab in here at Benj on account he confessed that haikus aren't his thing. Stay tuned for "movie limericks.")
not
1) AC
2) GHcool
3) thefoxboy
As I will not know if AC gets 1 vote or AC is your favourite for 3 votes.
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending the currently designated Haiku Dominatrix BaftaBabe your votes in a PM (Private Message).
You may vote only once.

Baffy, I thank you for making such a sacrifice!
Let me put my ear to the conch and see what film it whispers back to me...

OK ... First of all, Dear Turrell - I hope you're all right and nothing terrible has prevented your voting. Sadly, in the circs, and according to the rules, we have to discount your place in this week's contest.
And now -- pipe down there at the back!
In second place with 6 votes [1,3,2]
it's the ever-popular rockfsh
And tied in first place with 9 votes each are
Whipper [2,1,3,3]
and
Me [3,3,1,2]
I am graciously going to allow Whippersnapper to take the Conch and make his speech and pick another film.
Thank you all including mystery lurker

Naturally your question about a tie is merely hypothetical  but, hypothetically, if a lurker came along and broke the tie then, hypothetically, I'd say to myself, well, let's roll those them wagons, yah.
That's what I'd say, hypothetically.
Hmm ... well in real life - a lurker DID come along. And NOW there's a tie. So what now?!!!!
More to the point ... where's Turrell? I've spotted him on the boards recently, and I've messaged him x 2. I certainly hope we haven't offended him in any way.
OK - unless anyone objects, and assuming we don't get another lurker -- I'm going to go with the tie.
I'm giving it 2 more hours. That's 5 pm fwfr time, i.e. here in the UK.

Whippy, can you please check out my edit above and see if it's ok.
TIA

If not - please start sending in your votes! - or we'll have to turn you over to Jack   
That's odd. Several people told me that you didn't know Jack.
