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

Well phacon, one week is little enough considering the incredible amount of time that could pass between the dealine and the actual judging before so I guess I'll leave it at a week, yes.
Please note that this is not a critic, but since judging took from 1 Am to 3 am, I'll enjoy my little break.
And yes pHacon, Nofayn's the right album, you get the cookie. Do you actually like that band or you just typed the quote on the net?
As for the direction the ongoing discussion has taken, I'll just say; WTF ROFLCOPTERS!?

You've never cut a part of your body off? I do it every few weeks... Y'see there is this REALLY hot nurse at the hospital and I get a chance to talk to her while she is reattaching various parts of my anatomy.
Good enough reason? Hmmmmm...I miss my time as a single bachelor...Good old days...

Pfft, I'm lucky - most people get operated on by the dude who sweeps the floors. NHS cutbacks really force hospitals to improvise.

Ok, I lolled, very much...Good one...Unless it's true, Oh God is that true!?!
Cause it'd fit the theme in my book...

Bwahaha, I'll show you scars. And on the other side of the same coin (the people who get the dude who sweeps up)

I sever my finger
A man with superglue comes
glues it on backwards

It's just that I have my ideas systematically; I write something, I have an idea from what I wrote, and on and on...
I'll try to refrain from investing myself as much as that since I'm judge now.

this could be quite the double entendre if misconstrued.

That's why we wish for an edit button in Armorgames version 3.0.

You've never cut a part of your body off?


Whoa whoa whoa... you completely missed my second qualification: and mailed it to someone. I cut things off all the time, I just don't send them to anyone. I like to keep all of my severed body parts in a box. I'm going to make a sculpture out of them one day, assuming I have any fingers left to make it with.

I live in the states, so I can't afford any kind of surgery, janitorial or otherwise. Which means I have to cauterize my own wounds.

To make this relevant, I'll haiku-ize this post:

My limbs in a box
But no hot nurse to talk to
I write a haiku

Fair enough, how do you stop them from rotting?

Organs in a box
if not correctly prepared
start to smell quickly

Sorry I lost my serious all, it happens to the best of us. Now even if the popular demand is sustained, I won't concede an earlier judging since some users aren't on as much as some of us here, and that others plan their time to think given the deadline.
So unless something really big pops up, judging's monday.
And here's my actual, serious submission:

Ouroboros days;
A dark and acidic pitch
killing me slowly
