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
Hm, disapointment paints my face as I write this post. Two times I've tried haikuing traditionnaly; two times I've lost. I guess I'll be reverting to my old Haiku style and never do that again, even though I'm sure Basho would have been proud of me. Oh well, the competition was rough. Good job everyone, and good luck for next round. I'll poke here and there for next round judging, but if I don't happen to find a judge I may be the one to do it, because you know, I don't want to give freak too much work.

Aww, don't feel like that... you were ranked. The top 5. The best of the best. The elite. The cream of the crop. The set of underwear that still smells good. You get my point! Don't despair! You may win next time

It's no trouble to me, since I'm not busy, but maybe we can both judge. Act like the Literature Fight! thread and average the scores. That would make the entries fairer

Paired judging hmmm...That's quite an interesting concept...But what's your idea of a paired judging, how do you plan to realize that? Mail perhaps?
Spill dark blood, drink it. Life's a funny game; they're scared. ..Did I just..? Oh well..
Here's what the part of my mind that is in charge of insanity has spawned. I did get some inspiration somewhere, but I didn't copy anything, so I think that's ok.
In all honesty, I found this theme rather difficult. There's simply too many avenues to take. It makes it hard to choose what your Haiku should be about.
