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

The contest is officially Closed. No further entries will be accepted beyond this point and judging will take place within the next 24 hours.
The Depressing award goes to 1337Player:
I am getting old
My beating heart is slowing
I'm waiting for death.
Time, goes on and on
Landscapes are always to change
Trees, become freeways
Coming of Age nigh,
To finally make your mark,
Your calling awaits.
Years beyond counting
Father time has passed me by
My time is not long
as time grows shorter
my gratitude toward life grows
like my kidney spots
My bones and heart ache
silently I cry "I'm old"
Time sadly lost now
Rings etching backwards
Story of a time unknown
Lost in the lodging
Life can never last
Lives will always come and go
The reason, is age
Time flows waywardly.
Another age fades to dust.
It touches me not.
Arthritis is bad
the Advil doesn't do much
Healthcare's a bundle
We tend to grow old
But without time we are lost
We have lot's of time
Brain cells are dieing,
Yet I am at my smartest.
Aging can be good.
Feel time flow onwards;
The end draws ever closer.
I tire, yet sleep not.
A wall of old tools-
lit by the light of their time-
aching to be used.
Placed on graves of foes
Old rose still has many thorns
But longs to be bare
Spurred by the aging
The forgotten one will be
the best of them wines
Dammit to hell!!! I missed a haiku entry thing!! Ahh I forgot school and all, no excuses, time for me to make my haiku. =)
Congrats Fallen =)
I honestly feel bad about winning on the round nexting the one where I made Avorne a winner but...what the hell. If it's of any bother to you guys too, I strongly suggest you mention it; I prefer we revert to the old ''single-judge'' system if the present one if flustering you peeps.
In any case, good luck to all for next round.
Escape Earth's cages,
Let free your mind and set sail.
Is there a limit?

we are here to hone our poetry skills, not to get doggie treats.
Our Vast Universe,
The womb of planets and suns,
Also the graveyard
Okay then, we'll keep the system the way it is ^^. I just wanted to make sure because I care for the well-being of the thread.
I just realised, the next judging is on my birthday hahaha.
Yeah - that's my birthday present to you and perhaps a Haiku.
One circle of the sun
Technically egg-shaped...
Have a good birthday!
That isn't my entry but that's your present - a Universe themed birthday Haiku.
Which I've just noticed only has 6 syllables on the second lane
...It's technically egg-shaped...
All that could have been...
What once was, and since happened,
Aggregates entirety.
(If you don't understand, ask.)
fuuuuuuuuuuuu 6 line bottom one. ag-gre-gates en-tire-ty
Replace with:
Aggregates all things.
