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

A sudden, forced sleep
Drink the Kool-aid and awake!
Voices in my head

One with many minds
trepan the wicked demons
elevate your mind

Basically, just find (or insight) a psychological state. Something that happens, occurs, or is undergone in the mind. Or you can find an event that happened because of something psychological. You can get reeeeally creative with this one if...

...You set your mind to it! *badum PSSSH*

This is late, but this would have been my entry for the Elements theme:

Perspicacity

In the nebulous,
perspicuous enigmas
elucidate all.

The second verse, &quoterspicuous enigmas," is a play on words, as something that is enigmatic is quintessentially ambiguous. Elements, notwithstanding elucidating things through their objective qualities, are verily mysterious due to those very atypical traits.

Alternate version:

Amidst (or amongst) distortion (or perversion)
of truth, unique paradigms
elucidate all.

Murder

Harrowing the mind,
aphotic cerebrations
coerce one to kill.

The first and second verse could be interchanged, as the relative clause in the first verse could either precede or follow the modified subject in the second verse (though following it would make it the first verse). However, I find putting the relative clause before it to be more stylistically apropos for a haiku.

My Boredom

So slow in the start,
it seemed so never-ending,
until this haiku.

Could someone explain what this is and how it works ?

It's a haiku contest.

Just to say I entered.. I'll do something for the sake of it.

Lost in my own mind,
All these thoughts whirring through me.
Can't think.. descending.

*sigh* Oh well.
