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

If you complete it in 5 minutes (and it well done) I will assume you actually started sooner :P

Not quite what I meant.

Now you did.

Now for my Haiku for the current round:

"Why can't I go yet?"
"You shall remain here enslaved,
Till the day you die."

Does military or army service count.. because that's what mines about?

I'm sure. Yes, yes indeed. I quote:

Service means service to something. Service to a master, service to your country, customer service. You get the idea.

I'll give it a go. Service applies to anything, not just military in this case, right?

Feh, what a bastard.
I've served him for years, so why
Do I make so little?

Meh. Nothing prodigal.

Dang. I feel stupid. I had it down to 5 syllables, but I revised it, and it ends up with 6...

Ooer.

Don't I get riches?

I have one thing to point out. Parsat's first line has 6 syllables. Also can you give me some constructive or unconstructive criticism on my poem?

Parsat's second line is 8 syllables o.0

His first line is fine though
