What if I wrote a haiku for every film that ever won the best picture Oscar? And titled the whole collection Hollywood Haiku? Well that's what I've been working on for over a year and a half now. 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! Light's, camera, action!
