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 better enter then, lol.

Crunchy leaves, tumbling,
Squirrels scrambling, chilling cold,
Trees shivering, bare.

To clarify... tumbling = 2 syl., scrambling = 2 syl., shivering = 3 syl.

Well dudeguy hasn't judged yet... so I don't think it should matter. Unless he's already started judging.

I dunno.

Well guess what. I'm judging this week yay?

Anyways...

Champion's Exhibit... hypoxia

The Sights of Autumn
Epiphany of Colour
An Earthly Spectrum

This could've won this week's theme. Too bad you had to win last week, lol.

The wood award (5th place) goes to... jaza_m

Trees Changing color,
Red, orange, brown and yellow.
To Autumn, hello.

Rather simple. Try and describe how you feel about autumn, or more description. At least you got mentioned :P

The iron award (4th place) goes to... TerryLasVegas

Warm autumn sunsets
Prettier than day itself
Sweet and beautiful

Pretty good, descriptive haiku. Try again next week.

The bronze award (3rd place) goes to... Ernie15

Cold, breezy autumn
Leaves rustling, cool winds blowing
Life is just too good

You really had me with the first 2 lines. The final line killed it though Try a different conclusion next time.

The silver award (2nd place) goes to... jdoggparty

Left and Right through pathes
Finish detector beeping
SPLODE!!! Finished the maze

I lol'd. 'Nuff said.

The gold award (1st place) goes to... Bronze

The sun moves backwards
Letting the trees take a break
The pines choose not to?

Congrats, now go get your merit from someone! (Carlie?) Oh, and pick the next theme please

Armpit

Words cannot express
My endless love and glory
For an Autumn day

It's alright. Doesn't really describe an autumn day though. For example, I could replace the last line with "For an egg salad".

The LOL award goes to... Owen135731

The leave pile slants up.
As I jump, my feet tingle.
****. It's an ant hill.

As usual... :P I lol'd.

The Writer's Block award goes to... yielee

An Ode to Autumn:
This is my Autumn Haiku.
How did you like it?

Hey... you said it yourself... :P

The LOLWUT? award goes to... choazmachine

Apples are growing
Trees seem to be on fire
The cold wind breezes

Trees on fire in a cold wind? xD

The "I am displeased" award goes to FloydTC

the leaves are orange
the air is too cold and dry
how can I like it?

I know... we're all waiting for summer xD

The "I judged" award goes to shayneii

Crunchy leaves, tumbling,
Squirrels scrambling, chilling cold,
Trees shivering, bare.

Yes, I felt the need to do this.

The Hunger award goes to... notataco

I love good turkey,
Baby it is good to me,
Now lets watch it bake.

Heck... even your name is making me hungry...
PS: (http://apostrophe.me)... I feel the grammar nazi coming out in me.

The "Agh... so close" award goes to... dudeguy

Walking down the lane
I see a leaf pile, jump!
Ouch! A fan on curb!

Your middle line is 6 syllables! Noo!

Well... that took a while. I'm still unclear on who the judge is for the next theme. Either me, or dudeguy. Or if a miracle happens mav will come back to judge. As for the deadline... TBD, sometime in the next 1-2 weeks.

Congrats Bronze, go get your merit, and please pick the theme before Monday. Otherwise I (or Dudeguy) will. :P

Oh I won?!

Wow, that almost slipped by me, cause I spend about 5 minutes on AG a day now...

Uhhhh theme theme theme....running out of nature themes...

The new theme is Bear! (as in the species of animals)

The old shaggy man
Ferocious and strong, yet wise
Respect him, or else...

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!
