Sticking with our Western theme, lets watch that clock tick by with
High Noon(1952)
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.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 02JUL FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced. |

Coo-eeeee!! Just back from rescuing a baby thrush and a sweet pigeon who'd been shot by a hunter, but was fighting gamely. Bullet only grazed his wing ... whew! Don't hold out much hope, though, for the baby, who'd been attacked by a cat. I know my Bubble would never do that! [can't promise Whipper's Tigga is as well-behaved  ]
Ahem ... will ponder the haiku-less motion pictures and get a new one soonest.
BIG THANKS, ALL!!!

I didn't wait for the time to come for me to vote - so I did it a bit early. |

You were a bit slow on the draw, Monty!
I thought you'd skipped town before the Miller boys arrive.
