Welcome to Jennie And Drew's Haikus, the place where ancient Japanese poetry collides head-on with movies. Is the end result a twisted mangled wreck, or a delicate lotus flower? That's for you to decide.

There's now a swell sub-page right here where you, yes you, can display your own movie-themed haikus to the world. It's easy enough, just follow the structure below, which is 5 syllables, then 7, then 5. Feel free to submit your masterpieces to drew@script-o-rama.com, and we'll alert you when your art is put on display.

Haikus which have an on top contain spoilers, meaning they contain plot points that could conceivably "spoil" a movie for you. Read those at your own risk.
