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

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


Yeah, you've got my job now.

Enjoy.

I am going to attempt to write this without a keyboard.

Here is the serious haiku:

White wasteland barren.
Aurora Borealis
Breaks the sullen night

Here is a not so serious haiku:

Why the drab arctic?
Antartica is for me.
I am a penguin.

The first two lines are acceptable, but that last line just doesn't seem like it fits in this poem!

Noticed how my first line was widely positive, the second did already change to the uncomfortable, and the last one is strongly negative? I realize it didn't match the flow quite well, and I really did not expect anything this round, yet it did match my Haiku in some view

Haiku

Eternal I gaze,
As stars and snow blend and fall
On my frost-white tomb.

Wolf I wish to see

Snow white arctic wolf,
I want to see you but I
don't live where you do.

The moonlit snow plain
Reflects as many glimpses as
There are men on earth

The whip of the wind
I squint as the flakes pelt me
The northern lights guide me

Freezing Freezing Cold
The cold is chilling your bones
Don't succumb to it

I haven't done this in a while. This isn't one of my best.

Black night so bitter
If only spring would arrive
The arctic would die

A cold white desert
Uninhabited, empty
Minus polar bears

Genuflecting the helpless
