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

So your pronouncing it R-O-F-L? I pronounce it Roffle....guess I should've added that to the note to, huh? Unless you are pronouncing other things weird (aka "glee -> gle-ee, flies -> fly-ees&quot.

Ooooh, I forgot copter was 2 syllables...lol.

Hehe, so like "roff lay"? I guess that's kinda cool... I pronounce roffle as one syllable. Anyways, I'm gonna have to fix that extra syllable because of copter...

How about:
"Roflcopter flies quick" ?

6 syllables.

4 syllable words are hard to use on the first line.

Alright, after extensive searching, I have found that waffle is 2 syllables. Very strange. Seeing as roffle rhymes with waffle and is the same length, I can only now consider roffle 2 syllables. Guess I never considered the 'uhl' to really count as it's own syllable. Gosh dang it. More work for me.

Time for ultimate reformed version:
"Surrounded by sky,
Roflcopter flies with glee,
SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI."

Um, Danny, this is strange. Most people don't read the OP, but you didn't read the title? Hm. Reverse psychology?

Anyways, nice Haiku, but the current theme is Aircraft.

Oh, sorry for the double post. My entry:

Hot exhaust beams fast,
The jet begins to takeoff,
It booms off the deck.
