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

(special thanks to 'thisisnotanalt'

There in lies the problem; only moderators can give out merits. Its not up to us.


Yes i know... Can't you ASK the mods to bring 'em back? And it's very true if they are back the people will probably come too.

Thankful for merits
Or the pride that comes along?
--A change on the breeze.

Keep hoping because it's coming. Change is, not the breeze though. I don't want to be too cold while I work on improvements.

I apologize to all you AG Vets who have come on here complaining about my sorry judging practices. Things have changed. I promise it will be better, at least while I'm around.

What is it we need?
Matters not, for what we have
Is what we live by.

I feel as though the due date should be closer to the 22nd given the theme.

Here's mine:

Oh my God! Thank God
that I have God to thank for
this Thanksgiving Day.

This Thanksgiving Day
our spirits are together
as our hearth is warmed.

Not sure if the last line is correct syllable wise.
How much syllables are in 'warmed?'
If it is wrong, I'll change it.

Congratulations. You made me laugh.

I'd suggest to add punctuation.

I survived disease.
Hardship, war, every pain.
To get one turkey...

Warmed? One syllabe. It's fine.

You guys 'feel' a lot. A breeze for summer would be wonderful. And yes, perhaps you are right about the date @raoflight. But, people complained about the last round being too short, so that's what happened.

Darn, I guess it is. I was thinking, "ev-er-ee."

I survived disease,
Hardship, war, every last pain,
To get one turkey...

It is time for yet another antic of Gantic. I've kept you guys waiting long enough because of SIPPYCUpS (the comment merit guarantee!). See thread here.

In case anyone tries to make claims I messed up on syllables....bowed is meant to be 2 syllables (hence my way of spelling tortured..)
