Maintaining our seasonal heat theme, we move to 1967, and In The Heat Of The Night.






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 MHC. The voting is as follows:

3 pts fwfrer a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------

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.

You may vote only once.

When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 15AUG FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Black cop in Deep South.
On the whole he'd rather be
Back home in Philly.

Murder's no problem
With Steiger's Southern muscle
And Vergil's big brain.

PS - welcome back, Whipper!

I know is the cop's line, "They
call me Mr. Tibbs."

Wowza!

I'll return in a few hours with Haiku 69. I think we already did the film with the line "69, dude!" so it won't be that one.

Thanks for all your kind votes.
