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

Reminds me of an aircraft carrier. Booms nicely puts it together.


The entire intent. That's what I was modeling it after.

Now, what's the next theme?

I have no idea What Jefferson is. A plane? *slack jaw*


You have never heard of the band Jefferson Airplane? It was a group in the 60's. Then in the 70's it changed its name to Jefferson Starship.

Since I won, I assume I get to choose the new theme. I pick "Facial Hair" for the next theme, unless it's too hard.

I did not know the winner got to pick the theme, and i think facial hair would be hard.

I'm pretty sure its not the winner who picks the theme, otherwise the last theme wouldn't have been airplanes....

Get it right.

I'm judging the next theme, so I pick. Well, I think I am. This is confusing. The next theme is . . . .

@Orion same difference, and isn't haiku supposed to be about nature?

@dudeguy

Was my haiku supposed to get anything or did you kinda just post it by accident or something?

Haiku:

schizophrenia
unseen voices, hushed whispers
unable to think

@Orion, im pretty sure the winner gets to pick. Also I think facial hair is perfect. If you go earlier in the forum it states the winner gets to pick.

The winner didn't get to pick the first 3 rounds. It started after that because the judge was too busy/lazy to pick the new theme...It's pretty much the judges choice. >.>

~Haiku~

Bound by a jacket,
Voices whispering, tempting,
Schizophrenia.

@Hyouzou, anything can be poetry. It doesn't have to be about nature, it can be anything.
