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

So who is going to judge this round? Avorne?


Me! :P

I guess I'm judge until Avorne or Fallensky wants to take up the reins again.

When is it going to be judged? I can't wait for the next topic and challenge..

@FallenSky your traditional Haiku is beautiful, it's so calm. I'll have to try a more traditional too next time, though I expect it to be not so easy I might think now..

Canadians talk
About the weather a lot.
It's what we do, eh?


Two old friends meet on the street after years of not seeing each other.

-Sooooo, what've you been up to?
-Not much, not much...And you?
-Same as always, same as always...
-So, I heard greenpeace did some freaky stuff...
-Yeah, good thing the weather was fine!
-Yeah, the weather's okay these days...
-A bit rainy here and there but...
-But...
-Ummm, see ya...

Yes, it's what we do, it's what we do best!

Whether blinding snow,
Or a light, sweet-smelling breeze,
Me and Earth are one.

I'm on paid vacation for a while. Might get back to it in a week or two, of course I wouldn't mind if Avorne wanted to judge.
When I'll come back I'll take full responsibility as a judge, meaning I'll be the judge most of the time. I'll still be asking regulars to try their hands at it though, because taking turn judging thaught me one thing; that it is always nice to have different opinions for your work.
In any case, let Freak be the judge this time around again, unless Av steps up of course. If another notorious regular here like wolf or enter for example wishes to do it, he's free to notify me on my profile.

Happy Haikuing!

Your ever caring judge

A haven you say?
A port in a storm perhaps?
In my mind of course.

Meh, it's been a while since I wrote a haiku.

The theme is no longer Haven, it's weather. Also, anyone wanna critique my Haiku?

And so it seems Freak will judge since Avorne has gone missing.
Seeing how the last judging was a little late - my bad sorry - you're free to pick whichever date suits you the best.

Is it too late to submit? I haven't haiku-ed in a while. Here goes nothing.

I look up and see,
the darkness up in the sky.
Why so depressing?

An icy sleet falls fast
Clouds of snow swirl in the air
Majestic blizzard
