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

Unfathomable depths
Innumerable waves crash
Boisterous ocean

As you can tell, I have not done Haiku in a very long time.

The calm serene sea
Slowly becomes more displeased
Now a violent storm

Mother Sea unleashed,
Endless ocean of violence,
Her deafening wrath.

...it's not quite what I hoped it would sound like. Please tell me honestly, does it catch the feeling of a raging sea, or is it just a bunch of strong words mixed together?

Forget it, I think I have a better one..

The following entry is the one I want judged:

Deep Mother raging,
High Father's fury unleashed,
My ship lies shattered.

I haven't written a haiku in a really long time. Anyways:
Untamed warm ocean
Washing down the surly coast
Cleaning the foul beach

Here's mine

The Beast in the Ocean

The waves, they unfurl
their angry fingers snap shut
they roar like a beast

Here's mine:

The Watery Demon

Releasing anger
killing innocent ship men
having no limits.

Must we see the seas?
With crash of waves, yet again?
The sound is beauty.
