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
(special thanks to 'thisisnotanalt'
Well anyhow, I guess it IS kind of funny but still, it's very innapropriate! Get me Dan?
Judging.... judging.... JUDGING?! Pressure people pressure.
I really need judging done BEFORE the 28th! i am leaving then, and i wont have interent connection for like 2 weeks. so HURRY.
So the deadline was on Monday. When's the judging? I figured it would have been Tuesday. Maybe samy just can't get on... Anyone else for voting for temporary judge for this round?
Judging now.
Good thing there weren't 50 entries this time. Those ones actually give me a good reason to procrastinate.
Anyways, here you go.
Running Away Award - Dazpiece
Twilight in the park
Desperately she glided
Through the bamboo trees.
I got an image of this person running away. The second line made the entire haiku. 'Desperately' and glided normally don't go together, but in this instance it does. Well done.
My Haiku!
A bolt of lightning
As fast as the speed of light
Hypersonic death
What's there to judge? It's so amazingly awesome it pwns the competition. I'm joking, of course. Take this one as you (people reading the judging) wish. I just thought I'd put it.
Bullet Train Award - FallenSky
A radiant blur
Rolling on winding railways
An angel of steel
The word 'radiant' seemed a little out of place on the first line, but otherwise the rest is perfect. It meets the flow perfectly, just the word itself seems off. That does let it down a little, sadly. Good haiku though.
Mathematical Love Award - aknerd
The integral of
all my life's velocity
brought me here, to you
Quoting you:
...I miss calculus.
Hmm, I'm sad about the judging, I thought that I had nailed it so perfectly...Technology has speeded up life so much it's actually ridiculous, and yet we hail it as a god.
*sob* Well, good job everyone and as always, good luck for the next round!
Pure drops upon stone
Howling winds crash through the street
Onyx clouds encroach
In southern Asia,
The seasonal wind does blow,
Bringing rain with it.
This was based off the monsoon definition I found online.
I look forth in wait
For the annual monsoon
To help my crops grow
Well, it's been along time since I last entered this contest in the darkness theme. I guess I could go at it again.
Ah I failed at that last one.
here goes another failure...
Went through the monsoon
Into the eye of the storm
Finally, there is peace
XD Epic fail
It is a fail. The last line has six syllables. It's not even a Haiku.
Lol Yeah about my haiku, I realized it sounded horrible.
Okay... monsoon here we go,
The rain patters down,
The wind makes my clothes fly up,
People saw me nude.
People saw me nude.
