Who can forget "Klaatu barada nikto?" Oh, you can? Well, not me.
Your mission is to persuade the Earthlings to be nice to each other AND to vote for your haiku. That won't be easy. Just one tip: keep all thoughts of the Keanu Reeves out of your mind please!
The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)
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 10SEP FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Great round, evidenced by the vote distribution here. I will get the earth moving again in a wee bit. |

I had to get in touch with Klaatu to separate the tie-break, and he asked Gort...
In third place, with 14 points, 333221, we have
MR BAD IDEA!
In second place, with 15 points, 3332211, none other than
MONTGOMERY!!
But out there on a planet of his own, with 17 points, 33322211, well, you've heard of the blob from outer space, now we have the...
SLUDGE!!!
Well done Sludge, and everyone. It was great to have so many entries, wasn't it?

We need a lurker vote, as there is a tie for 1st place with exactly the same scores.
Spooky!

I was unable to move for awhile there, but now I've voted. |

Well, we're waiting on three votes.
I won't mention any names, like Sludge, MguyX or Rockfsh, for example, because it would be wrong to do so. 
But they know who they are is.

The world, standing still -

No use speaking of
Inalienable rights.
Klaatu's seen to that.

Man ignores Klaatu's
warning. Mistake. Because Gort
is no Mork from Ork.
