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

(special thanks to 'thisisnotanalt'

When was this cancelled? And why?

See p.453
The mods felt that acmed, the main judge since 387 (I tied for 2nd in the contest), was asked to be replaced or to change his unprofessional, lackluster judging ways (ex 432, 436) and bringing the thread to its former glory. Needless to say, he didn't do the latter.

Actually, you participated and placed in the final merit'd round back in June. I got 2nd the round before that. And you won the round before that.
Sooo... late congratz!

It looks like no one else entered. The previous judging stands. On to the next round!

First line is 1 syllable short and it doesn't fit the theme.

I'd suggest to capitalize and fix the typo in the second line.

Thanks and Curses

Once two brothers met;
Their diffences bent one
To serve the other.

^^^^^^^ The haiku is about how on Thanksgiving, the enemies should become friends, and forgive each other.

First of all that's WHY the people all left... The idea of a merit drew them and with no merit it seems quite "lame" to them maybe...

But if you bring BACK the merits then the people will flock. ALso sad i didn't get one... :P

There in lies the problem; only moderators can give out merits. Its not up to us.
