Haiku Movie Review writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a Haiku. A Haiku has three lines. The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables again. Take ANY movie and write a 5-7-5 haiku or senryu style review of it. Be serious or humorous...either way, act as if you were a movie critic and have fun!


1954 film by Akiro Kurosawa in which 16th Century Japanese villagers hire Samurai warriors to defend them against marauders planning to steal their harvest. Lots of intriguing subplots and twists.

How can you do justice to any great film in merely seventeen syllables? Good luck to everyone else who has a go.
