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
So this week's theme was the Blooming of Life for the blossoming of spring. Sadly, I live in the midwest. Spring's coming in two weeks.
Aight. So if you didn't place top 5, write me up on my messenger for a comment.
And people have been asking if I can add more than a top 5. But the fact is, I don't have the time. If you didn't place, you didn't place, I'm sorry. And to be honest, if I said everyone who entered was "special", everybody wouldn't try hard as they should. Just sayin. I love you guys, but an acmed has to do what an acmed has to do.
Little hands uncurl a new heartbeat joins the throb life begins again
Great wording murasaki! I like the scene you picture, like a bird's first flight. It's beautiful, great job!
4th Place: amoghdayal11
Buds turn to blossom The chirping birds sing to the cradles A guest arrives
A good twist to the theme. It was a great scene and a wonderful haiku. Keep it up!
3rd Place: DevilishConcoction
Creation unbound Seeming to only want to give Joy and happiness
I liked this one. It's simple, but yet quite nice pace. Keep it up, and you could get 1st!
2nd Place: Maverick4
Blemishing the field, I clutch my breast, and let go As lifeblood pours out
Lawlz, breast. *chuckles*. Okay, on a mature comment now, this was good. It didn't just tell the story to poured the story's guts out with emotion. GOOD.
1st Place Merit Champion of the World and Domination and Death: Ernie15
Holy Mother Earth Hums a soft, quaint lullaby To a virgin soul
Excellent. Just pure excellent. It was a tough choice, but you came out on top. Congrats Ernie! Ask a mod for your merit! NOW.
So, it's Spring Break (betches), and I know you hip AGers will probably be out, so this is gonna be one long round. I'm giving you guys 2 weeks to write this. That's April 21st. The round's theme is Sunset to Sunrise, admiring Jesus Christ's rising of the dead on Easter. Good luck, and... Happy Easter!
