Moving on to a less cheerful Dickens Adaptation.
Oliver Twist
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 BeanMImo.
I believe we're back on schedule(ish). So, when the voting deadline technically ends (9pm Wednesday 10 February FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced. |

Very late entry (as the actress said to the bishop).
Polanski directs
Societal child abuse
and goes to prison. |

What the Polanski?
The votes are in and the crowds are gathering while the street urchins are stealing the change from their pockets.
In joint second with such a low amount of points that it doesn't bear repeating.
Like something out of a movie it's
Me
&
MguyX
but pipping the two of us with a massive seven (7) (vii) pints and a haiku worth of Dickens himself
Exiled, Polanski...
...a crooked old man? Still, he
offers whole new Twist.
It's our one and only
Sludge
Time to follow Dickens to the lecturn and give us a few words then pick another movie to haiku and not one we have immortalized before!! |
