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

Lol, it's one letter! Besides, didn't you mean to have Unlimited, but was typoed? Or was there a reason behind it?

Ulimited, I love how he told you something was wrong and you totally didn't care because your name was spelled wrong haha

@komputerkurt:

1) You've got the wrong theme, there. The current theme is "Mastery of Water" and not "The Pond"; that was the first theme.
2) The entries are closed anyway. No more entering haikus this round.

I was talking about the pond.[/quote]

I know you were. Did you read the rest of that section?

That theme ended six months ago. If you read the title of the thread, you'll understand that there is a theme change and what page you can find the description of the "new" theme.

The typo occurred on Kong, but my AG account is purposely written like that.

It does have a "watery" subject to it... I think he has learned about the theme change, but we shouldn't "drown" his hopes in being able to participate

Sorry, but you passed the deadline, beastahayes. You entry is invalid.

However, I will impose the new theme, as I don't want you guys to become stagnant haiku-ers.

New theme is Light.

I will judge tomorrow if Dudeguy doesn't, as I said before.

Ooooh, light... That's a lot of different things. The Oxford dictionary has 6 nouns and 2 verbs on it. Can we use any of them?

Can't wait, it will be fun... The suspense...

Which was entered after the deadline.

Any one of them, or even your own. I chose a broad topic for a reason.

Which was entered after the deadline.


Too bad... But at least he has one entry in, so he still has a chance...

You didn't put a due date!


True, you should add that from now on. I'm curious too.
Yeah, Orion. I just was correcting my entry. If you say that is invalid I don't find that fair. I had already entered it.

Actually, I find it just, as posting a revised entry is basically posting a new entry, while getting rid of the old one. And since the competition is closed... Besides, would you be able to win a science fair if you brought your project late?

Deadline Wednesday. And if you could, could you please just post your entry after this so I don't have to sift through all these page? No discussion past this please unless absolutely necessary. And I'm the judge of that.
