Care for a pie? Try Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
Let's haiku-ize Tim Burton's unexpected version of this Victorian horror show based on real live pies - in which benj stuffs Lovett and they all sing about it.
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, 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. 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 MHC. The voting is as follows:
3 pts Stalean
2 pts Conan
1 pt Benj (Gotta get a jab in here at Benj on account he confessed that haikus aren't his thing. Stay tuned for "movie limericks.")
not
1) AC
2) GHcool
3) thefoxboy
As I will not know if AC gets 1 vote or AC is your favourite for 3 votes.
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending the currently designated Haiku Meister your votes in a PM (Private Message) here.
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:
Movie Haiku Contest: Movie Title
(Acknowledgement: FWTO after which these rules are modeled.)
Note for academic purists: I acknowedge that what we're doing here is not Haiku in its purest form.
Check FWFR time (assuming the server is in England?).
Thanks to Benj for giving Movie Haiku Contest its own folder under Games!

Name change. Sea voyage.
Vengeance taken, with a lot
of cutting remarks. |

Shave and a haircut?
Matricide and patricide;
Murder and revenge.

Deftly Depp is bold
Revenge served in razors hold
and pies hot or cold.

Sweeney knows one thing:
"The first cut is the deepest."
But that song's not here. |
