a love triangle
only silent film to win--
with dazzling dogfights

***
I wrote one simple haiku about the Oscars and called it Hollywood Haiku.  

kudos to Oscar
every best picture ever--
Hollywood Haiku  

And then I thought, what if I wrote a haiku for every film that ever won the best picture Oscar?  And title the whole collection Hollywood Haiku?  Well that's what I'm working on.  I hope you'll  enjoy them.

Light's, camera, action!

I know that most haiku are not titled. I title mine to keep track of them. But my Oscar haiku titles were way too long even for my liking. So, instead of naming them, I've designated them as "Oscar-ku," a combination of Oscar and haiku. Kudos to fellow poet Kim Rodrigues for coming up with the name. Cheers, Kim!
