Well, who would have guessed the sequel to Bambi would have been one of the great films of the '70s?
The Deer Hunter
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, even if you are Sludge and its your birthday. 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 haikus. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfr a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You may vote only once
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.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 12DEC FWFR time - brought forward by popular demand), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

OK, the votes can now be revealed. (Didn't hear from Rockgolf, but, hey, no-one's holding a gun to his head, are they?)
In third place, with 8 points (3,2,2,1) the Princess of the Haiku Podium, MONTGOMERY!
In second place, with 11 points (3,3,3,2), and most first places, the Haiku Hero of Hawaii, Rockfsh!!
And, by a meager slither of a point, in first place, with 12 points (3,3,2,2,1,1), me. (Sorry Chocky, but I voted for Rockfsh too!)
I suppose I'll have to think up another film for our next round.
Meanwhile everyone who wants to congratulate me can post here, and any alternative haikus they may wish to share with us, not that anyone ever does, but they might. They just might.  |

Oo-eee that sounds like excellent fun! Don't forget to watch the remarkable clock ceremony every hour in the big square - Wenceslaw Square? spelling? Ask- they'll know!
Have a wonderful time!

Scars inside and out
Vietnam savages legs,
too good to be true.
Thanks for the tip, Whip. D'oh. |
