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

In the jungle, the mighty jungle....UPTON SINCLAIR

Rain patters on vines
Stretching between foliage.
We wait for the drops.

Devoid of feeling,
Disfigured forms in shadows,
Zealous for the hunt.

Dung's everywhere,
carcasses of a weak prey,
what a horrid place.

Went to the dark side that time.
Second Haiku, don't expect to win

So cool, it finally got stickied well here's my entry for now.

Deep and rich colours,
unquiet atmosphere; so wet,
Watch the parasites

Blue crystal ceiling,
gold strewn floor, timber grown walls.
Where potential breeds.

I have two haikus derived from the same idea...

Crawling in the wet
The mold is unstoppable 
Quiet disrepair

Crawling in the moss
Walking seeds of the forest
Life always spreads

Do I have to choose one or the judge just uses the one he likes better?
Oh, and tell me if I made some grammar or syllable mistake :L

Your first haiku follows the 5-7-5 rule. But your second haiku doesn't.

Crawling in the moss
Walking seeds of the forest
Life always spreads

Life - 1. Always - 2. Spreads - 1. = Four syllables. It has to be five syllables.
Do I have to choose one or the judge just uses the one he likes better?

I think that you have to choose the one that you want to submit.
Oh, and tell me if I made some grammar or syllable mistake

Done.

Friday's tomorrow! That means that I can think of one then.

Jungle

The mighty jungle
Calms our souls with it's beauty.
Yet it is savage.

First time posting in this contest.

Tangled in the underbrush

Lion

Stalking a lame deer,
Others are afraid of me,
King of the jungle.

Just submitting for the sake of submitting, I know that it's useless.
