So before you sip the Edlerberry Wine, meet Jonathan in a dark corner or are charged down the stairs by Teddy and end up in Panama....get your haiku in for
Arsenic and Old Lace
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) to me.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 28 May FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced
And remember cheaters sometimes come first but in many of their hearts lie steroids awaiting the day to claim them young.

I guess you're right. I should have been clear. I meant the Hitchcock version with Anthony Perkins.

What? I won?
I was just about to sneak out the back door before the authorities arrived.
Okay.
Let me think some.
I have to choose something that Whipper has seen. And he's working off of VHS tapes, so it might be kinda tough.

polite talk, and buried by

Brewsters are killers,

Sisters spike wine with
poison. But Brewsters avoid
a Massey ending!

When those sweet ladies
Asked their guests "What's your poison?"
How could they have guessed? |
