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

Eyes fixed on our foes.
No thoughts, No moves; We wait 'til
our 'trump sounds the charge.

Battling through hardship,
Weakening internally,
Letting go of pain.

I'm curious as to why every other entry was about war or fighting.
You can battle other things such as illnesses.

You can interpret most of them that way. You can also interpret them more metaphorically than that.

I'm confused as well... are they due the day of December the 5th, or before the 5th?

I'm kidding, all of you suck!

Acmed, you're a butt. I love ya bro!

Do you mean the day after tomorrow?

I think he meant "You must have your poems in by the end of tomorrow."

I noticed this as well, quite a few are pretty superficial that way. But I'm glad people are trying, it's good for them

I would try to take the theme in the most unique way possible as a way of sparking interest from a reader because it's different.

LAST HOUR HAIKU!

Look and see the pain
War costs much more than money
We must try to stop

I dunno :0

Round's over. I'll try to get the judging done throughout the week, but not tonight. I'm watching The Polar Express. What a movie... Later! G'luck!
