Leave Piggy alone, give the conch to Ralph, and teach those boys some manners, as Peter Brook explores that age-old adage that kids do the darndest things. Let it fly for Lord of the Flies

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. * And your votes must be cast by 9PM Wednesday fwiffer-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 Dominatrix BaftaBabe your votes in a PM (Private Message).

You may vote only once.

Island life's great but
One must be prepared for those
Small sacrifices.

Kids unsupervised.
Conch shells, pig heads, flies abound.
Freedom? Anarchy?

Kill the pig, Piggy!
Piggy, kill the pig! they cried.
Pig fried. Piggy died.

That's odd. Several people told me that you didn't know Jack.

Somehow the top post has lost the "voting by" info, which is 9PM Wednesday fwiffer-time, so Turrell's not on the missing list until then...

Can whoever wins this contest make sure that's included in the next comp? Pls? Pretty pls?
