A friend started a group on Facebook called �Movie Haiku�. When I joined, her boyfriend (who is the crew coxswain in this entry) insisted I write this poem:
A poor parson and
a rich heiress � bound by their
passion for gambling!
Neither of us ever actually saw the movie, but there were a lot of commercials for it. I used to torment him with the line �A poor parson and a rich heiress bound together by their passion � their passion for gambling!�
I�d written a few other movie haiku before that:
The Matrix
What is the Matrix?
When they pan on folks kicking
mid-jump - I mean, whoa...
James Bond (OK, not really a single movie...)
Who was the best Bond -
Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan,
Timothy Dalton?
Blade Runner
Future of nineteen
seventy-nine makes for the
best movie ever...
Nya wrote some great ones too:
Song of the South
Zip-a-dee-doo-da
Disney says �Keep moving, folks.
Nothing to see here.�
Leaving Las Vegas
Hooker with gold heart
watches drunk drown his sorrows.
The House always wins.
Juno
Awkward teen age sex
leads to unplanned pregnancy
Man, that takes me back.
