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

Frail, light pink blossoms
Appeasing aggrieved spirits,
Absorb red anger

I tried a more conventional haiku (this theme is best to do so, I think^^), and got this idea of the trees taking away bothering feelings from people, turning it into something different, edible, fruity

Oh look, a new theme/title!
Other than that: Beh, poetry... Can't write, won't join. As always.

Thank you Cen, you're a dear

Also that haiku up above isn't really my real entry. I'll think up one pretty soon.

Wait Cenere did you do change the title? I had asked some other moderator to do it, oh darn I can't think of what her name was!!

Umm just because i don't want to seem off topic I'll just give a quick haiku, not my official entry...

The heart grows quickly
emerging beauty, love, faith
too soon does it fall

idk maybe it will be my official entry, I'll think on it...

How quick blossoms bloom!
Dainty pink amid red leaves
Falls like rushed romance

Taste the sweet honey
that the gift-giving mother
shares with love and joy.

pink blossoms blooming
ushering out the dreary cold
spring is upon us.

This is my first entry. I hope you like.

You do realize that this does not refer to the topic at hand? Right?

Apparently I used to be a good poet so I'll give it a shot... Hey, anything to do while procrastinating homework

Taken by the wind
Bringing innocence and youth
Gracefully dancing

Someone should of totally written about the fruit (cherry). That could be alot more amusing

I considered doing that, but then realized it was about the tree, not the fruit. Someone should incorporate the fruit in there somehow.

People are writing about the blossom which is a different tree anyway.

Gentle sakura,
Once high on a lofty branch,
You withered, I died.

The scent fills the air,
leaves float down and touch the ground.
I lean back on it.
