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

Without warning, love
Left me, it seems, while I slept.
Tears, like raindrops, fall.

while (2)

HowManySyllables, Mirriam Webster, and Dictionary say it's 1. I'll consider it like the word fire, it counts in favor of the participant.

Frog is not a frog
Because if a frog is a frog
Flies will roam no more

The fly is making noise and by the frog eating it the noise is killed off.

No, a haiku follows a 5-7-5 syllable scheme. Yours is 4-8-5.

Pause. Listen softly
Silence surrounds you, quiet
Finally some peace
