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

Mav got shot again, that is about the 5th time he has been shot. *sigh* He needs to stop living so dangerously, especially since we are all depending on him.

Judging!
---
Champions Exibit: LittleNinjaMan

I have seen it all
Sights, along the Longest Road
And I keep walking

And the entry from LittleNinjaMan, who previously won the previous contest. Previously. Think I've said 'reviously' previously too many times. Weird. Anywho, its good, great, terrific. Eh...

Wood Plaque Award: Jdoggparty

I see Mercury
I measure with all the stars
A long walk awaits

Silver Plaque Award: hypoxia

A long way to go
Rest, pause, reflect, carry on
One goal, many paths

Gold Plaque Award: Yielee AND Graham

A Tie! *gasp* Well, heres Yielee's first:

Smoke Streaming Skyward
Carries Thoughts To Ancestors
Heaven's Road Is Long

And Graham:

Boundless forever
These roads, matrical havens
Homogeneous

Anyways, It just wasnt right putting Graham or Yielee in silver, so I decided to bend the rules. And I CAN do that. I think...

Platinum-Certified Award: Ernie15

The road to nowhere
Runs forward for many miles
Does it ever end?

Andale! Andale! Whatever that means... Anywho, I like it. Alot. And arn't you the guy with 65 merits... Maby you shouldnt win...

*Twilight Zone*

Go getcha merit from Carlie. Just tell her you won here.

Dont bug me about not commenting on your haikus. Trust me, its better than having what I wrote. Not that it was bad, but it just seemed that i was saying the same thing over and over and over again. I'm only good at constructive criticism. Like this guy:

Well, that just about sums it up for whats next. The next theme is Pine Sea, and will be judged Wednsday, November 4th. And sorry for the long wait on judging, but you get a bit extra time, I think...

Heres a little sample I made, a while back:

Shrouded sea of pine
Orange-robed monks meditate
Nettles drifting down

Only a first part, but the post glitched so the next two stanzas gut messed up, but I never fixed it...

Wow, I thought I would be DQ'd for use of possessive in a Haiku, so that was a nice surprise. Thanks, Maverick4...

...and congrats Ernie15!

Thanks again!

Here is my next entry

I sit peacefully
Gazing out nonchalantly
In the Sea of Pine

Hope you like it.

Cold air rushing through the pines
Swaying in the wind
