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

*face palm*

Just checked, and you're right. Your haiku was right next to his username, so I got them switch up and totally excluded Quirinus. Professor Oak has already seen the results, and I don't have the heart to redo it with a possible placing shift.

You and Quirinus both recieve a cookie from me, and my humble apologies.

Do you think the results would've changed if that didn't happen? O_o

I suppose you mean July 22nd.

Anyways, I like the new idea for the theme. I'll think of something tomorrow.

Can I just say that that is the most unfunny picture I've ever seen. I'm gonna have to work my butt off to find humor in THAT emo-fest


Life is what you make it, I'll just leave it at that.

No comment.

I suppose you mean July 22nd.


*facepalm*

Tonight is not my night. I'll get Gantic to change the title again. :/

No need! By the way, nice take on the new theme. Never seen a haiku contest with the theme being what you make out of a picture before. Just visiting the nostalgia

As I gait, I see

iMogwai, acidsworddragon. Your entries did not adequately cover the theme, and were therefore disqualified. Sorry.


You crazy? It totally covered the theme >_>

The trees sway two ways
back and forth, forward and back
The mist covers all

It was about a pyrotechnic mouse. If you care to explain...

There were no people around, so the main character started talking to mice instead.

I like this one, though I have just one problem with it. How can something thats unaccompanies be forsaken? Unless I misunderstood something?

I know I'm a few hours late on this but, from dictionary.com
Unaccompanied: not accompanied, alone

Darting through the fog,
The shadow of all my doubts,
Waiting... I should run.

Took a few edits to make me satisfied with this, but don't be surprised if I edit it again.

A dense fog rolls in,
Obscuring what lies beyond,
Dare I go deeper?
