A Haiku is a Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.

Well, that said, heres the rules:

1) The Haiku must be original (no plagarizing)!
2) It must fit the weeks theme
3) It must be submitted before the deadline
4) It must be submitted for the contest (no using works previously written)
5) One Submission per user
6) The Same User cannot win twice in a row (but there welcome to submit!)

Hopefully oneday the winner could get a merit...

The Deadline will always be a Wednsday, so the deadline for the first theme will be Wednsday, September 2. The theme is The Pond

Champions Exibit:


Shouldn't that have been for me, since I won the previous one?

This boreal is real
City of trees, sea of pines
For miles unseen

At the peaceful cove
Millions of pine trees grow
Sit down, take it in.

CRAP.

The trees up above
Mock me as I sit seaward
The branches in vain

Washed up on the shore
A disembodied pine log
With few needles left

I Sit Corrected! The Champions Exibit is wrong; It should be Bronze, not Ninja Man.

Sorry Bronze, Sorry NinjaMan.

And a 'sea' doesnt nessicarly mean a litteral sea.

Crisp breeze; autumn air
Whooshing wind, swirling needles;
Needles bathe my feet.
