Let's see how well you know Orson. The story of a rich man with an unhappy life, who longs for simpler times.
Let's all haiku it up for Citizen Kane.
Here are Whipper's Rules.
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. *
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 Meister your votes in a PM (Private Message).
You may vote only once.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.
*After winners are announced, the floor is open for posting of alternate Movie Haikus under that topic heading.
The winner then gets to make an acceptance speech, and choose the movie for the next MHC contest. The winner will post the new movie as a new topic under Movie Haikus in this format:
Movie Haiku Contest: Movie Title
You cannot pass Go. You cannot collect $200.
Just checking to see if anyone read this far.
EM :)

Rosebud, he whispered,

Didn't care for globe.

Snow falls on young boy
Mother, black shawled, calls to him
He grips tight his sled |

My inadequate film knowledge lets me down again ...
Not even planning to read these haikus, or check up on the film on imdb - cos I am determined to watch this movie in the next few weeks and I picked up somewhere that it was a film that could have 'spoilers'.
I'll pop back in a few weeks and check how good the haikus were  |

The haikus. What do they mean?
We must get to the bottom of it. But first . . . Sludge, you need to vote.
You are the last one.
Besides me.

Okay, the votes are in and I'm still confused.
WHAT IS ROSEBUD?????????
Just kidding. And, I won't elaborate, in case bife is looking in.
(Although, I think my haiku, pretty much let the cat out of the bag.)
(Another note, can he really not know what the spoiler is for this movie? Does he still believe in Santa Claus, too?)
Okay.
I'm over it.
This has been a quick round, but let's get over it and onto a movie more people have, ahem, seen.
In third place . . . with 5 votes
(3,1,1)
Let's give a hearty round of applause worthy of Susan Alexander for

Congrats, Whip!
Whip up another movie haiku for us all.
You may now post alternate haikus for Kane, if you're able.

I would have if I hadn't been away.
I damned to have missed such a classic.
Rosebud replaced with wealth,
Kane can't stop the march of Time,
