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
I'm so sorry!! I knew I missed someone when I was judging! It was totally after the last judging and I missed it...
This haiku was a very basic explanation of what insanity could imply. Suicide can be one of them, but it's not usually the cause of it when people attempt, think about, or commit it. There's also the mention of using the theme in your haiku, which is a no-no. When you want to write a competent haiku, you want to describe what the theme is. Go into detail about something that is an example of the theme. Try and look at some of the ranked entries to get a better explanation of what I'm getting at here.
Hope you'll participate in the next theme! So, so sorry again!
Didn't know what parts to quote so I quoted the whole thing. It's okay, I got a special mention didn't I? Yes I was very tired that day and I should've done something else to replace that haiku. Thanks for the advice.
Congratz to Graham for winning and to all the others for trying.
Time for my haiku. (See what I did there?)
The continuum, in which events occur in. Past, Present, Future.
