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

(special thanks to 'thisisnotanalt'

I was pretty sure rainbowdude had a chance at winning the merit this time around.

He won last theme, so he couldn't win this time around.

Staring back at life
Death is within my next move
Approach the ledge, jumped..


Yeah, referring to suicide sort of, I probably could have done better, but I guess that's my entry.

The onset tempest
Ceases. Yet, each drop, gently
Reverberating.

Five slots filled with greed
And one with cold lead and fear,
Unlucky winner.

Into the Wastes

Desert of crystal.
Death bearing down upon poor
Fools. Who tried crossing.

No coming back now.
This scar will always be here
Hiding my past life.

Someone has made a grave decision, has been branded no matter what s/he has done before. The scar may or may not be physical/visible, but it is quite surely psychological. Has his/her life now ended, or has a chapter been irrevocably ended and a darker one commenced?

..just some interpretation/annotation to my own haiku^^ Didn't quite know what to write to that theme...

That defeats the fun of trying to interpret a haiku.
