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
I'm content with Honorable mention ... Congratz Kyouzou
really? Hearts?! I'm happy, i'm a weirdo and for the past two months have been practicing making haikus on my facebook...i have a poop load of "heart" haikus...now just to find the best one...lol...
Grr i'm stuck between: Heart pounding like drums Palms sweating, voice studdering. I must be in love. & I will take this heart And give it to you, my love. Said he to the wall.
It sort of depends on whether or not it will be judged based on the haiku's subject being mainly the heart or not. If not then i'm going to have to go with my first haiku being my official entry...
oh crap! never mind...i failed to check the rules...i'm an idiot...those were both written before...hmmm now i gotta think of one for this!! -15min later- A hole in my heart filled only with your sweet love together, we're one
my inspiration was a doughnut xD, lol i'm adding this to my haiku's on fb just bc i like it so much.
"we're" i believe is 2 syllables, its a compound word ya know...
and if EITHER of those other 2 kinglemon had posted qualified..... i would have cryed knowing pre-maturely that i have lost. im adding those to my personal quote colection, giving credit to where it is due...
"we're" i believe is 2 syllables, its a compound word ya know...
We're [weer] is one syllable, as is it's and don't. The syllables of contractions go by the formed word. Thanks for checking though!
Freak may need to be reminded that the pronounciation guide is in no way related to syllables
Because even though multiple websites verify otherwise, he is still wrong because one states to the contrary. Yep, he's a terrible judge. He should be replaced with EnterOrion, which is a definite after this theme because he is so terrible.
