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
I haven't gone anywhere. What makes you think I won't be judging? Maybe I should post here more often so people don't think I'm dead...
Haha, well maybe it's just me that's posting so often about the judging's progression that I forget some users are a little more...dicreet.
Everyone says thank you to Ernie. You really should give us some sort of cue that you're judging though, I really thought I'd be the one to do it. Anyhow, sorry for the commotion everybody.
How can a Haiku be a Haiku if it's not about one of the five seasons? *Note: Before some retard tries to prove me wrong; In Japan New Year is a season as well.
If you just want a poem in the style of a haiku, call it 7-5-7 thread, or senryu spin-off thread.
I'll probably forget about this post, so if you want to respond to this, do it on my profile.
