Following yesterday’s interview with “Inception” composer Hans Zimmer, I thought it would be fun to run a contest and give a few of these bad boys away. (Confession: Yes, I ended up with more than one.)
I figure we’ll go with an oldie but a goodie from Sasha Stone: A haiku contest!
Cut loose with your best “Inception”-related haiku and the two best entries win a copy of the soundtrack, courtesy of Warner Bros. and Reprise Records. Bonus considerations go to those who find a way to work thoughts or perspective on the score into their haiku. We’ll pick a winner in, oh, let’s say mid-week. Wednesday, depending on when things trail off here.
Have at it in the comments section below!

Dream within a dream.
Is Inception possible?
Yes. The dream is real.
Leo’s Love and Loss
A Lullaby for Nolan
And Hans Scores The Dream
Falling off the bridge
The sound of brass blaring bright
They wake with a kick
Geeks will deconstruct
Will the totem ever fall?
Leo doesn’t care
Waiting for a train
You don’t know if you’ll get there
But we’re together
What is an idea?
Is it ours and ours alone?
Life is but a dream.
Haunting psychic strings
Slice through nightmare’s dark rumbles
As the world spins
Haven’t seen the film.
But I’ve heard some awesome things.
Just need some money.
Inception’s a dream
Leo is having while stuck
On Shutter Island
Level 4 dreams
sedative not included
cash only, please.
I guess I should have mentioned, beware spoilers.
Swirling and awash
In the foamy slosh breaking.
Subconscious beaches.
The totem still spins
A dream or reality?
Truth does not matter
Weavers weaving love.
Fathers, sons, husbands, and wives;
The ties that bind us
Spinning top, black screen.
Brain pretzeled since Level Three.
Much-needed pee break.
The post-credits scene
Reveals that it all took place
Inside a snowglobe.
Cobb escaped his grief
Cobb came back from the limbo
Did he leave the dream?
I lost my virginity, I do recall! The dream is real!
Wait, was it just a dream, a planted thought?
Still a loser – the dream is not real.
Zimmer’s bass pounds through
Like a freight train in traffic,
Makes your bones rattle.
A mind of mirrors,
Will never keep from crippling,
A life of only chase.
Cacophonous flux.
Soporiferous desire,
Build somber vistas.
Hypnotic suffering.
Here’s to my disillusion.
Is mere pillow talk.
Every honest note
A book left lying open
Songs to guide you home
So far I like numbers 7, 14, 15 and 17.
Dream a little Dream
a little Dream a little
Dream a little Dream
Row row row yourself
gently down the subconscious
Life is but a dream
Just for fun, a la William Carlos Williams:
So much depends
upon a spinning top
Hidden in
the doll house safe
Of your sub-
conscious.
Nolan’s finest hour
Cobb does the impossible
Creating new thoughts
I spell it all out
Can’t direct visually
Should learn from Hitchcock
sorry
Who needs gravity?
Hans Zimmer’s music takes flight.
Sweet dreams, everyone!
It’s that word of mouth
Sixty million first weekend
And six Oscar men
Give me the soundtrack.
Why? Because I said you should.
Inception rules all.
Nolan and Leo
team up to make a movie
It kicks lots of ass
Hans Zimmer’s best score
Should win the Oscar for score
Bet it won’t get nommed
Five, Cobb builds dreams to
Eight, relive the sorrow for
Nine, his lost loved one.
I’m in Hong Kong now.
No release til July’s end.
I really might die.
Just like his totem,
Spinning madly through his dreams.
Will Cobb ever wake?
Dreaming a dream’s dream
Wait, what the f@$k happened?
…
When’s the next show start?
Is Saito Craig Schwartz?
Consciousness is terrible
When you’re a Tourist.
Dark Shades of love
Cloud his judgment-Cobb must watch
His dreams turn to ash.
The totem is Mal’s
So this takes place in her mind
Like Mulholland Dr.
Hitchcockian motifs
Recurring in lush dreamscapes
Zimmer scores again
all i need’s your touch;
but am i real? lost totem.
stay my ghost for aye.
Thought centripetal.
Mind, terra incognita.
Pons asinorum.
Sensational calm.
Mood for every moment
Distant swelling strings.
non, je ne regrette-
the kick hits, the dream falls down
but does the totem?
Music cues the kick
Layers of complexity
Tension is rising
I miss Jerry Goldsmith
Hans makes me
His popularity now does
Once my jaw was left agape
It just stayed hanging
Til my dentist intervened
That Leo DiCaprio
Seems to gravitate
Towards psychotic housewives
Zimmer’s score is to
Inception as Herrmann’s score
is to Vertigo.
The wait is awful.
Inception will arrive in
August. Slow Chile.
Inception is here
Biggest Blockbuster 2010
Also most original
As Mal, femme fatale,
Marion is in my dreams.
Maybe Oscar’s, too?
(I really like #44, despite the syllables)
Boy this film is loud
Hans Zimmer is a factor
Give him an Oscar
His score works wonders
i shouldn’t have doubted him
Maybe i dreamed it
