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
Rising from the ground, Steel structures emulate the Trees I used to know.
Congratulations on getting a sticky guys. For all those who have participated and have contributed to this threads popularity, and to all those who have judged at some point in time (I think 5 now?), you have all helped to get this contest where it is. Thanks a lot.
I've judged. I wish I could do it agin, but without having to do all that work.
Yeah, I'm waiting on my second turn right now. Hopefully, when the present judge gets tired I'll be able to rise back to the apex of my judging capabilties. Did you know that my judgings took on average about 5 to 6 hours to do.

But the fact that (almost) every Haiku gets a critique from the judge is what makes this contest the best in my opinion. I used to hate not placing,and then not finding out what was wrong with my poem. So while judging does take awhile, its better for the contestant.

Ernie is judging now, right? The order of judges was Me, Shayneii, Dudeguy, You (Fallen), and then Ernie, right? Now that I don't know the judge, I don't have as many qualms about entering.
