Hitchcock Haikus: Movie Haikus #s 8 - 11

I swear these are my very last entires in the Hollywood Haiku contest! I end my obsession with the Hollywood Haikus with a quartet of Hitchcock Haikus.

VERTIGO - #8

Never fall in love

With your mark; One bad step leads

to another. Whoops!

PSYCHO - #9

Never accept a key

At a motel where you are

The night's only guest

NORTH BY NORTHWEST - #10

Dodging Crop Dusters

And fighting on Mt Rushmore

Is hard in a suit.

SHADOW OF A DOUBT - #11

A heart of darkness

Like a worm in an apple

Invades my home town.

A Movie Haiku for one of my most 

favorite comedies ever: 

Some Like it Hot

Two guys on the lam;

Testosterone in falsies.

Nobody's perfect!

A Movie Haiku in memory of Elizabeth Taylor:

Butterfield Eight

Gin in the a.m.,

the easy woman's mouthwash.

Where the hell am I?

Haiku #5 - City Lights

Chaplin could inspire anyone to poetry!

City Lights

Flowers in my mouth

Taste of sacrifice and love.

I can see. Can you?

Haiku #4 - Singing in the Rain

A musical movie haiku for your consideration!

Singing in the Rain

Love enfolds my heart.

The rain liberates my joy.

Love and joy are one.

Haiku #3 - Roman Holiday

Since I'm still in that Royal Wedding mood, an entrant to the movie haiku contest with a royal theme. Was there ever a more royal princess than Audrey?

Roman Holiday

Best Haircut? Pixie!

Best Ride? A Vespa is bliss!

Best City? Rome. Rome.

Haiku Contest

Okay - I'll take a few shots at a Movie Haiku. I'm not normally known as a poet, but sometimes films inspire me to be poetic! Let me search my soul......


Sunset Boulevard

So Misunderstood!
A face of nitrate and dreams;
The parade's gone by.
