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

Also, I'd be happy to step up to the marker of temporary Judge for this week. Of course - deadline would have to be Sunday the 1st of August with Judging on Monday the 2nd. Is that OK?

The creep of shadows
Draw ever closer, but still
The sun glimmers...just.

Darkness beginning
It is the end of twilight
It is known as dusk.

Blunt.

I'm not cultured enough to now what you're talking about...


Actually, you're probably TOO cultured. It's from a James Clavell novel, which isn't exactly high literature. I thought it sounded cool.

Dusk, eh? Nice.

Streetlights shining bright
Reflect off the dimming sky
Neutral glows are born

The horizon dims
The darkness surrounds everything
The earth can now rest

You've had your day, Soul
Now you may rest, sound in peace
and wait for sunrise

The darkness surrounds everything


That's 8 syllables. Take out the "the" and you'll have a legal haiku line.

With partial darkness
Brightness flows away today
Between night and day

Night and day combined
The sun soon leaves the grey sky
Soon total darkness

i hope that is a correct haiku
