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

thanks for pointing that out. For some reason I thought adding very would make it 7 syllables.

@ blackskulldragon:
Happy has two syllables. I had to think about it for a moment before putting it in the line.

Happy has two syllables.


So do "making" and "children."
It's still six.

Ah good; for a few days, I feared the contest would die out of my excessive - and unpredictable - lateness.

This place is going to crap.

I remember when I was a judge, and I would at least make decent lies or beg my co- judge.

Your haiku kind of reminds me of "a Christmas Story" when Ralphie visits santa. I like it.

decent lies

I swear pal, for all I've lived on that hellish week, if you dare imply I lied I'll find you and God knows what I'll do to you. I still have an immense scar covering half the width of my index...
And for begging the co-judges; I had no internet. You know, since I and don't lie and all...

Yeah, judging'll be pretty soon, unless you want me to wait a little longer. I can get on it and post it tomorrow if you'd like. That way the pace of things would get back to normal and hopefully we'll get back a decent amount of submissions. I wouldn't want to kill this contest for one week of terrible personnal life :P
