I don't see any submissions coming in.
Oh and...
Uprising (because I happen to remember it)
It happens to still be in the thread title for some reason...
I have already done my duty, twice. I've spoken to a moderator about changing the title twice. So, I don't have much control about the title anymore.

I've had to do that before. I guess they're a lot busier due to the updates and stuff. Well, it's fixed now: better late than never. Hopefully it'll generate a surge of participation, since there's little time left in the round.

Here is my first attempt at a haiku :)
The tunnel's frail light
Guides only the heaviest of souls
Enlightened, again.
A darker approach which in longer words kinda means this:
After death, you heart may be heavy, but keep going and find heaven.
Like it? =)

^ Haiku's here must be in a 5-7-5 syllable template. Your middle line is too long.

Poopies. :P I mistakenly took heaviest for a one syllable word lol... My mistake i'll redo that line...
The tunnel's frail light
Is the end of a journey.
But only just one
Again a darker approach... Does you like it? :)

It's fine, it meets the requirements, but the last line is a bit clunky. 'Only just' seems repetitive, as either word would communicate the message. Repetition isn't usually favorable in haiku, other than for a strong emphasis, as it uses up precious syllables. Offhand, I can think of no less than 5 concise alternative lines, but that's just my input. You're not required to change anything, so don't feel that you have to.

Today is the twelfth of November. That means that all Haiku's are due today. No more submissions will be accepted, unless I am otherwise mistaken.
That said, my next post will be to announce the winner and the two runner-ups. Good luck people!
