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

Okay, seeing as Ernie will be judging the next round, my haiku is as follows:

Silently streaking
The sky fills with sudden warmth
Light is upon us

Of course. The judging should be on Saturday, so you still have time.

Though I don't know why I'm telling you this, seeing as you've already entered. :P

samy: It's five syllables for the first and third lines, not four.

Sorry mate, but clouds is one and revealed is two.
I think I see where you were going with clouds but that would make it cloud-s and a single letter sound does not a syllable make, or at least as far as I'm thinking right now.

Use the dictionary to figure out the syllable counts, please. Revealed can be considered 3 syllables if you use the Shakespearean pronunciation.

Ah; fair enough points.
Just put a lot of emphasis on the -s in clouds or the -ed in revealed.

Or ignore the submission entirely I don't care

Actually, I read the word "revealed" as three syllables, but I advise you revise the first line a little bit. Even if it's just sticking an extra one-syllable word in.

It has to be done sometime today, though. The judging will be in a few hours.
