OK, it's not exactly about Christmas, but its got a holiday theme, so we're travelling back to 1987 for Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Note that you have two weeks before voting ends, because Monty wants to celebrate Xmas! 
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 02JAN FWFR time - delayed by popular demand), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Who can take Martin,
Drive him clean around the bend?
That Candy man can.

The forms of transport
are far less memorable

Thanksgiving. Home calls.
Page tries wings, wheels, and choo-choo.

Oh well, if I win without the lurker votes, that will be a feat in itself.

Well, I'm going to let Chocky change her vote, if she wants to.
Anyhow, why is she lurking? There's plenty of time for her to come up with a haiku! 
How about it, Chocks?

I just PMed Whipper with my decision regarding my votes.
As for me and this movie... I'm sorry, but it didn't inspire me (I actually had a second one for Miracle but never got around to posting that one). So no, I'll not be submitting a Haiku for this round, I'm afraid, and just lurk until a movie that ispires me. |
