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

Bouncy baby boy,
Radiates strength in his prime,
Shrunken in twilight.

yeah! who won?

Wow. Patient much. It takes time to grade each haiku and choose which one is best. Well at least I think it does. Never done it before. But acmed also has a life, so he cannot spend all his time on AG refreshing the screen and seeing if a new haiku has popped up and compare it to the others right away. So give him some time.

It actually only takes about an hour, but I have a tight schedule. I'll try to get it done one of these weeknights.

Yes guys. Patience...

Okay, so for this round's theme, Sunset to Sunrise, we had the issue with gnosiphile and his poem... Just to let you know, I'm sorry, and I want to clarify something. So important to me, I'm gonna bold it...

IF YOUR POEM HAS A POSSIBILITY OF PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING IT, EXPLAIN IT

Okay.

Write on my profile if you didn't place and want a comment. I'll check it roughly everyday.

10 poems.

Lez start.

_____________________________________________________________________

5th Place: dudeguy45

from the rebirth;dawn
the sun watches over us
until it's moon's turn

Not too complicated and not to simple... Maybe a little too simple. I'd broaden the image a bit, but it was okay.

4th Place: Bladerunner679

holy light unleash
the wicked veil has shattered
time to greet the dawn.

Good wording in this one. Clever and a nice flow. The picture was nice, and it was overall a good poem. Thank you!

3rd Place: TuxedoPenguin

That trite but true Sun
Weary from a hard day's work
Charged for a new day

I understood this one, which made the perfect image in my head. I connected to it. Keep it up!

2nd Place: Schmiddy1234

Wispy rays of light
Protrude the vast atmosphere
Warmth has gone again

A beautiful poem. Excellent wording and flow. Sorry you didn't make first, though. Keep it up, though!

1st Place Merit Winner: HahiHa

Between dusk and dawn
Azuras rose will blossom:
Nerevar reborn

You're lucky I like the Elder Scrolls. Beautiful wording, and just... Wow. Contact your mod bro... Wow.

Okay, congrats. Horrah...

I'm on a Queen rage right now, so let's have the theme be Under Pressure due May 8th. G'luck!

Well...perhaps my efforts here are wasted...

My entry(it does not have a title)

Try not to trust fate
She is a foe when fires burn
and crisis crushes

Sweat rolls down his face
His heartbeat pounds like a drum
Does he take the leap?

stresses of the world
His mind cannot handle the pain
he thinks of the end

i see miasma
sweaty, shifty, nervousness
i can't hold it in

The meaning of this haiku is to not hold in a fart too long.
(Please don't take the previous sentence into consideration when judging)
