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

Has this been abandoned by the judges again?
Also, wth with that flaming??!

Anyway, though I am sure Dudeguy will, once again, kick me for doing something I don't have the "authority" to do, I am going to set a theme, if not officially, then at least for people to have something to do while they wait.
The theme will be "Snow storm", and will last until a judge once again takes charge, or a week or so.

This is supposed to be fun. That is the purpose of contests here, and while it might be frustrating, if you stop seeing it as fun, you might need to take a break.
It wasn't you I meant, though.

Though there should be more control on this to make sure the contest doesn't get abandoned over and over again.

I don't have the "authority" to do


I believe that little blue title underneath your avatar gives you all the authority you need. *grin* Anyway thanks for the new theme.

Hurray a new theme!

Deadlier than sin,
Worse than even Hell itself,
Absolute zero.

Raging winds blind me
My feet firmly on the ground
Or are they? Oh Snap!

Yup, sure, that works. Fine by me.

Has this been abandoned by the judges again?
