Mae West and Cary Grant - how can you go wrong with this comedy classic. Come up and see what you can do.
She Done Him Wrong(1933)
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, think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. Haikus may be risque, but nothing explicit please.
Only one entry per person. 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.
You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away.
---------------------------------
For each round, you get to vote for your three favourite MHC. The voting is as follows:
3 pts - 1st place
2 pts - 2d place
1 pt - 3d place
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending the currently designated Haiku Meister (me, this week) 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:

Would find her Cumming. |

"Is that a pistol
in your pocket, or are you
just glad to see me?"
(I never realised until now that Mae's most famous quote is, in fact, a haiku!)

Lou's ex doesn't like
her Cummings and goings on.
Granted, she's no saint! |

Mae's some sassy dame!
Though Grant pants to hold her hand,
She can hold her own.
