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
Carpe aestas, Amare quid faciates, Tempus moritur.
Translated to English:
Enjoy the summer, Love what you do, Time is dying.
You told me to judge the non English one, but I had to read the translated.... So I'm technically judging both.
Crap this is hard. Since the first one's in a different language, I can't read it without translating it... But the translated has a bad amount of syllables....
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
...Sigh. Good poem, next time, do one. With one language. Please.

You Only Live Once? Isn't that a song by Drake? I dislike this theme.
Me too. I dislike it. So, this round is filled with lots of half hearted poems, so I'll judge it fairly. This one was funny, I do admit. The theme sucks, and Drake sucks. There there.

"You only live once" Honestly doesn't make sense There's still more summers
In all honesty, this one was the best so far. SO FAR. The last line was the only good one. I'm sorry. I hate humorous themes DUDEGUY.

A life, a demise, One's suffering and rapture, In one existence
The first qualifying serious poem! Nice one! This one really changed "live" to "death". I like. Demise is very dark and a wonderful word to use. Using the word "one" twice made it sound a bit odd, but the rhythm in the second and third line really made it great. Nice one shock.
The 'Haiku doesn't rhyme?' award: CheapCheep
You live and you die I cannot rhyme for my life Strawberry Turtles.
Not even gonna... No.

The night is still young We're running from the po-po Who still follows rules?
You are a true baddy. Sadly, this is a humorous one. I don't judge those.

First line 4 syllables. Still, not what I was expecting.

The time of relief; discharged from mundane duties. Use your days wisely.
I like the change of theme. You live once, so might as well be safe. The middle line made a great impact and carried on throughout the 3rd line. Nice one on you Ghost.
it was a good haiku, but he was also one of the two people who made a SERIOUS haiku (3 if you count Emp).
Guys, this theme was a confusing one, but still, POST SERIOUS STUFF. I'm getting tired of these halfhearted judgings. It's ridiculous. Post a haiku, or nothing.
Anyways, next theme. Another Brick in the Wall. Back to school folks!
Due the 8th of September. Got it? Cool. I better not see crap.
maybe people are getting tired of your way of judging and find no use here anymore.
He's improving, but the theme was bad. You can make a serious haiku or joke haiku out of any theme, but who's gonna take something like YOLO seriously.
There's also not much variety in the judging. We've seen the same two people for a few months now, it's getting predictable what they'll like in a haiku. Very easy to play on that to win.
