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

You can't end a line with "the". You just can't. Ever. It's against the unwritten laws of haiku


If they're not written down, they're probaly not important. :P

"I Ran"... Towards that beauty

Such lights are above
the aurora shines so bright
her beauty un-matched.

Arctic prison

The infinite snow,
In vain I try to survive.
There is no escape.

I knew I should't have rhymed the two.. Eh.

The screaming wind blows
The cry of a thousand men
The birth of the night

Dramatic right?

Hmm, well, I'm am little disappointed in this, I was really confident in my ability to win.

So, has anything been decided on that judging matter while I was on vacation?

Cold

Forever frozen,
The horizon wrapped in ice,
As this world slumbers.


I must admit, I had to go on Rhymezone to find a 1-syllable synonym for "covered."

This will probably be better, since my last poem was only "adequate."

:P
