Movies in Haiku is the brainchild of Hugh Elliott, a freelance developer. Already a fairly active blogger, Hugh picked up Twitter, starting a love for 140 character limited announcements.

Beginning with Letters to Anyone, where he wrote short missives to random people, places and things, Hugh found he could have a lot of fun with creative writing.

On a cold, February morning, Hugh wrote his first movieinhaiku, so tagged. And here it is;
guy killed in vietnam,
reanimated soldier.
a human again
#moviesinhaiku

He never told anyone what movie he was writing for and if someone guessed he realized it was a good haiku. When he felt he’d written enough haikus he moved over to the permanent moviesinhaiku twitter account.
