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

Always nice to have feedback, thanks for that.

Haiku time... This one popped into my head in the extreme early morning as they usually do, so it's likely not any good, even though I refined it slightly.

Relinquish control,
I will not be your puppet.
Stay out of my mind.

This one is about the Moon and it's effect on the tides

I dominate you
Bowing to your sovereign,
Bound to my impulses.

I'm going to enter a new one. Disregard that last one.

Manipulation
Molded like a piece of clay
I control your life

Well, nothing to say really.

Clever design, while
We have white on black game boards.
March forward. All pawns.

You can't control me like this
Get out of my head

Haiku's aren't supposed to ryhme. Also, the theme is manipulation

Wolf, I did say RHYTHM, and not rhyme, of course I know haikus don't need to be in rhymes.
Anyway, I'll talk a mod out of changing the theme.

No worries Wolf ^^.
I posted on strop's profile so the name should be changed soon.
And it's atually quite good so far; the submitted haikus I mean. Judging'll certainly be quite though.
