    The Hollywood Haiku contest sounds like fun; good luck to you! I can't think of a snappy haiku offhand, but years ago I whipped up this little limerick, for what it's worth... :-)

    In a film magazine readers’ poll,
    Folks suggested an Orson Welles role,
    ’Twas quite hard to say, but: “A pudding!” cried they,
    “For his belly’s as round as a bowl!”

    I like your haiku very much, Clara. Too bad there isn't a limerick contest -- Dorian would have a shot! I'd like to know more about the contest? Are you doing several haikus, or how does it work?

    DorianTB: Thank you, hope you had a great day too! Oh, first time ever I hear about limerick being something else than an Irish city :) But I googled it, and yours is great! Thanks for sharing!

    ClassicBecky: Thanks for visiting :) About the contest, it's organized here:

    And it's open to everyone. I decided to post one a day, to have more opportunities to win and because I liked the idea :)

    Oh my goodness--a haiku competition--are you serious? You are going to laugh when you see what I have pre-posted instead of links for the month of May. I've been planning it since January! This is a crazy coincidence. . .

    By the way--your haiku is lovely. You really get the spirit of the movie :-)

    Wow, it's Hollywood Haiku fever! On behalf of Team Bartilucci, I've come up with a haiku, too. It's posted on my TALES OF THE EASILY DISTRACTED blog post -- and here, too, for your convenience! :-)

    I'm still a big star
    It's the pictures that got small
    Face-down in the pool

    Good luck, everybody!
