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
Here I begin. First, I'm just going to announce the winners, and in a later post go through everyone elses. (sadly I have to leave my entry out, but oh well)
4th place, also know as bronze: Teeheegirl
Water controls me My eyes close for the last time My soul swims away
I like how it offers a more spectral view on water, which is a bit meaningful, but a little hard to decipher. Overall very good. (that must get old, lol)
3rd, which is silver, of course: Kyouzou
Controlling all lives Drowning, Destroying, Killing Everyone shall die
It employs the view of waters extremely destructive tendencies, which is not unique, but the way you wrote it is. All in all, awesome.
2nd, gold: Freakenstein
Grace and fear inside, Calm and deadly: everything. Water controls all.
I like how it uses grace with power at the same time, using exactly what water is: Graceful but deadly. Excellent.
1st, Platinum/Waterlord: Ernie
Waves as high as clouds Crashing down on enemies Drenching evil ways
I don't know why, but when I first read this it popped out. This one is great, the best of the bunch, but admittedly not by much. Water does drench everything, including evil, if you look at it that way.
New theme was my original theme (which I posted quite a while ago, my friends): Light
The deadline isn't this Saturday, but next. You have a week and a half to complete it, so think about the haiku before you post it!
I can't win anyway, so I don't have to worry about how "good" my poem is.
You may get a "no $h17" award for that haiku, so you may win something if Dudeguy feels the same way about it! That and it talks about how powerful light is
Ahhhh, too bad, I didn't make it into the top 4... I guess my next poem will have to be supa-dupa.
I'm going to think a bit before posting my haiku. Can you at least tell me what you didn't like about it? And flaws in it (Other than I posted it thrice).
