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

The Sleeper award goes to: FallenSky!

In silence I wait
For him to awaken me;
Loosest as I'll purge

In this essence, sleeper has a different meaning; this one, to me, represents a follower waiting for his master to give him his just rewards.


I thought it was clear I was referring to the very object of this week's theme...
Oh...Well...
I guess my judge comeback is well deserved; I really can't seem to do anything good these days.
Anyhow, a great thank you to Frank for judging so well, and I sure hope my return won't affect you guys ^^.

It did! Trust me. If it didn't relate to Insanity, I wouldn't have judged it. If you recall the sleepers in Morrowind, they were definitely insane people that blindly followed their master. In essence, this is what I thought of. You can tell me on what you thought it represents though. Afterall, it was your entry

Anyhow, a great thank you to Frank for judging so well


*bows* Look me up if you want me to judge in more themes!

hmm, I see how you interpreted it...
I meant that insanity was slumbering, not insanes; as if it was part of absolutely everyone.
Upon waking up, it'll purge every ounce of matter, thoughts, concepts or reason that does not fits its moral, which is one of nonsense, or perhaps of too much sense, how could we know, we're sane ^^.

Insanity is reasonnable in itself.

Congratulations for your win Graham and great job judging Freakenstein.

It can not be stopped
My youth days are now long gone
When did this happen?

Fail.

Five, four, three, two, one...
The clock stops, two-thousand twelve
The end of time. Now?

Hands hold an hour;
He blows sand to whisk the space
and thus continues.

Heal these bitter wounds.
Time, you pass me by. Leaving
Me to fix this heart.

Gossamer threads lay,
Unequivocally tuned.
Until, but one breaks.

Past times I've won there hasn't been this many congratulations. O_o

Am I wasting it?
And is it really money?

Seconds, minutes, hours
Are all forms of time when it
Gets to twelve it chimes
