Mississippi Burning


Alan Parker handles civil rights and wrongs in this thriller with a sharp edge, soiled sheets and comPELLing nights. Can you Hack out the fire in just 17 syllables?




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 passover. 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 your votes in a PM (Private Message) HERE, to Me.

When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 21APR FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Deep South, deep hatred.

Uncivil action.

Well, I'll be very disappointed if I don't finish in the first 3 this week.

Well, I'm happy to give Sludge till the alloted 9PM to vote. But then we'll see ....


OK - I humbly acknowledge a crap choice of film ... fortunately the original release did much better at the box office

So here's the thing. Sludge would've won if he'd voted. But fair's fair and custom and practice is to send non-voters to the burning pits of hell where more than their chestnuts get roasted.

So, by the power vested in me by the Mississippi police department. I declare the winner of this week's Movie Haiku Contest is lamhasuas!

Give it up for lammy! YAY!

Lammy - make your speech and let's hurry along with the next. Nuff said

Uh, OK, good. Thank you. I'm the pointy-headed grand wizard this week then.

By default though, really, so I won't be holding any triumphalist rallies yet awhile.

Nothing wrong with the choice of film, BTW, BB. (I was certain that someone was going to come up with a reference to Hackman having the KKK by the balls.)

So, let's see...

If I may allude to the klan and the kids in L.A. simultaneously, it's all good in the hood.
