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

Gyser of justice,
Awaiting its time to gush
Drowning those in wait.

Takes too long, and nobody reads it anyways.

haha with the amount of time judging is I think it would be appropriate, but it's understandable! And I read everything ;D

Congrats pHacon, Matrix, and Wolf!

The seismic tremors
A weak point in the crater.
Ash, Fire, Screams, Death.

I might make a different one, idea's are still bounding around in my head, but for now that is what I've got!

Can we have a new judge who will critque everyone's entry?


I'll take the job as judge (and this time I promise I'll inform everyone if I leave my post) and I'll do ultra-judgings.

Who wants the job?


Hmm.... If it's not too late to ask, I'd like to judge. .
It probably is too late to ask, but I'm able to judge if you need another one.

Maybe Icy and Ernie could alternate judging every week. That'd be good. I'm sure that they would both make great judges.

The Pond's cold water stills.
As the silent hills whisper.
To you my heart is gone, and the last words linger through time.

Wow im new to this.

Hey, your poem is off.

The first line is six syllables and the third is fourteen syllables.

You need to have five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third.

As well as that, it looks like you are posting about the first theme for this contest. This contest is Rupture. I like the one you have, however it is in the wrong format and doesn't fit the theme. :b

A haiku for this contest must consist of three lines of 5-7-5.

Your haiku is 5-7-14.

Ernie and I alternate.

That's the verdict.

If Ernie fails, which he won't, I'll judge for him. If I fail, which I will, he'll judge for me.

So we both win, though he wins more.

Ernie judges this one, posts a theme that I will judge. Therefore, we never judge our own theme but always get to enter for it.

It's win win.

Disruption of life,
Quarrel within a nation,
Rift in relations.

A simple leak sprouts
I need more than gum to mend
Too late, the dam failed

This is my first time in a Haiku contest..woot!

A dramatic tear,
A rip that shakes the Earth's bones.
How we have let go.

black pit that erases all
wormhole through time space
