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 1st place award isn't in bold either.

But if you're judging 25 entries and giving them all their own award, chances are you're going to mess up somewhere.

Darn, and I thought that was the best haiku I ever made, even though I got a merit from a past entry. Oh well what's this next theme...pressure! hmm...

Ugh, this is pretty hard with all the entries. I wonder when they're going to do the next theme.

According to page 129, the current theme is Pressure.

From every angle
Invisible walls close in
So I don't float off

Not really very serious, but I try to put more effort into the rounds I actually have a chance of winning.

Peer Pressure
By: Krizaz

It's always up there
It's always telling me how
Pressure, you suck balls

This is a hard, and perverted sounding topic Ernie.

Judging is fun that way, and it gets people to keep entering, so it's a win-win!

This is a hard, and perverted sounding topic Ernie.


My topic may seem suggestive if you interpret it that way, but yours clearly says "you suck balls", which is not only directly suggestive but also fairly unpoetic.

So I guess it takes more than 15 seconds to make a placing hakiu?


Unless everyone else makes theirs in 15 seconds, but that wouldn't really be a fun contest to judge.

AND HAPPY HAIKUING IS MY LINE!!


Think of it as more of a tribute than a line robbery.

Hold the phone, I never entered mine!

Hyperventilate
Seventy breaths per minute
Don't force this on me!

I purposely made this a challenging theme, but I didn't take into account that I myself would be entering.

I think this is also my 7000th post.
