The top grossing film of 1982 and just about any other year, "E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial" captured the imagination of audiences of all ages, but was overtaken by Gandhi for best picture & best director at the Oscars.
There's much to haiku about, so let's get started.
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, especially if it involves 7-year-old Drew Barrymore in a compromising position with a being not of this earth.
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. I'll resent it, but do it anyway.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 05DEC FWFR time, but do it before lighting up your Hanukkah candles), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced. |

I didn't think I could like Monty any more than I already did, but it seems I was wrong.
