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

Well that is the main problem with metaphors; the interpretation. It's so prone to subjectivity that it can be misunderstood or not understood at all, but metaphors, they make deeper texts and beautifull figures of speech, hurray for metaphors and symbolism^^.
Don't worry Samy, I'm not mad at all! Thanks for being the temporary judge and congratulation to all!
Don't worry, I'll keep up my foggy writting.

I can judge again if you'd like or I'm sure we could have someone else on this thread do it. It's up to you.

A metaphor is like a simile as a simile is a metaphor. Ha; definition play. And fallen I'd be upset if I ever fully grasped your writing.=P

A radiant blur
Rolling on winding railways
An angel of steel

This one is dedicated to Steven Wilson, oh God! I hope he comes here!! (lol...)

Now for my haiku to be clear...bah, it's clear enough this time, all I'd like to add regarding my haiku is : Deus Ex Machina.

No,no I was being serious. It's interesting to have haikus so open to interpretation. Sorry if I came off angry...

Meet, cherish, propose
One could not commit to it
Fleeing, tears, remorse
