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

(special thanks to 'thisisnotanalt'

Bah. Just noticed on my 2nd improv haiku the first line is 6 syllables. I feel like such a failure. D:

Anyways, I guess it could be seen as all snow, but I have yet to see the first snow as a blizzard or hail!

Haha, what? I won with that lil' thing? Wow. Thanks!

Where I live, the first snowfall melted during the night while I was sleeping. And it fits so well with the personal meaning (which I will spare you all the story of).

Um, new topic! Lemme think...

Addiction. Not about anything in particular, just being addicted to something. Hope it has not been done. If so, lemme know and I'll think up a new one.

Going cold-turkey
Shaking uncontrolably
Habit's hard to kick

Hmmm this is an interesting competition

Can't stop myself,
Essays need to be written,
Torture of the mind.

Hm...That's not very good.

Work is left undone,
Losing to pure desire,
Procrastination.

Bah. I can't think of anything decent. >.<

Flame, a soft inhale
Smoke lazily drifts upward
Compulsion, sorrow

Methamphetamine,
It has taken me over.
I want my life back.

Maybe good.

Lets be straight and simple, this is probably the best written haiku of the whole bunch. A beautiful choice of words and great imagery, BUT it isn't even about snow.


At least I wrote the best one. And thanks for the compliments.

Whose judging this theme? Well, I'll make one anywho.

Jet, boost, shoot my disc
Ski down the slope, touch the flag,
It's only a game?

Meh, it describes a video game that I couldn't get enough of a few years back.

I know there's not any in there, but for some reason it feels like that haiku has several sexual innuendos in there. o.o

You think wrong. xD

I'm assuming it would probably be inappropriate to make one on nymphomania . . . . xD

Hehe, I wanted to express it in a way so that it didn't just seem like any old video game. Word choice my fellows, word choice...
