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

It's about how...Substance, wisdom and excellence can ironically come out as a result of the most dedicated frugality ^^.

Deadline's today right?
Sorry I'm kind of confused since I was not the one to set it.
Hmm, I'll be judging tonight I guess, as usual. Expect to see something pop up soon but not in the daytime for I work.

Kingdoms rise and fall,
Revolutions shake the world,
Will we ever learn?

Sorry, but it's really last-minute, so I don't expect anyone to like it.

I know Fallen is working on judging right now (maybe) but people really need to meet their deadlines.

But take your time Fallen

I tried contacts once...*Shudders* I think I was having a panic attack. I could FEEL THEM. Not only that,the lady who gave them to me said that, because they were made special, I would most likely ALWAYS feel them, not like normal ones, where you stop noticing the feeling. Anyway, I never wore them again, and I got glasses. Yay me.

Have you guys contacted a mod to change the theme? It might help alleviate some of the confusion.

As soon as I gave the powers to Fallen, I contacted a mod to change the theme. Of course the mod was Strop, and he's in exam mode, so....well, we can change it after judging lol
