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

Spam? How the hell is this anything like canned meat? As to the judging, I believe EnterOrion is the judge, correct? If he is going to judge he needs to get a move on.
Patience, dammit. Judging isn't something that should be rushed.
Considering I'll be up the next 18 hours, I'll judge anyways.
I think I swallowed poison (or something that doesn't belong in me). D:
I feel like crap.
Judging is underway.
Hard judging. Again.
You are all too good at this.
Wrong Syllable Count otherwise it would have placed third award - TSL3_needed
Crushing pressure kills me
Snuffing my very life out
May as well die now
Seriously. Award says it all.
Refrigerator? - Graham
Pressure hurts me lots.
I wrote haikus about it.
Refrigerator.
I'm not even going to ask, that was so random. I lol'd though. Literally.
No More Breath Award - Thyll
I let the air out
Lungs constricted, can't get more
I writhe in the pain
Very good. Easily placed. I like the second line in particular.
I'll finish this tomorrow. I think I need to go . . . .
No these, are not placements.
No I thought you were going to judge it all! I got my hopes up for nothing! D:
Well, it is going to be all here. Now.

My haiku think will be someone OCD.

Markings on the sheet.
Are making my eye twitchy.
It must dissapear.
Can't you imagine some neat freak in class staring at a mark on a paper and their eye twitching? XD That was my inspiration ^^
Congratz fallen I guess Orion got your symbolisim way bettr than I did; the the hiaku was still fantastic though
I don't get this one in the slightest beyond some kind of measurement. Now my head hurts.
Well I'd like to conngratulate everyone for their fabulous entry.
A big thank you to EnterOrion for giving me a chance, this was my first haiku post on this thread so I was pretty nervous to go against all the usual participants ^^.
I wish you all good luck on the next theme!

I cherish my faults.
Pressure (of a gas) X volume (in liters) = moles (1 mole (n) = 6.022 x 10^23 atoms or molecules) x constant "r" x temperature (in kelvin, which is just centigrade + 273 degrees).
Now here's my entry.

Surface
The pristine ocean
Home to the keenest of reefs
The boat sank promptly
Concrete, smog and death
nirvana, trees and wildlife
But on is perfect
