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
Such is a situation with the word 'fire.' It is one syllable, but commonly pronounced as two. Were this a verbal competition, I would let through; unfortunately, this is not.
In the sand near the Pond, my fingers dance with grace; Tracing tales as quills
Traditionnal approach this time; while I almost never won with it, I remember making a lot of people win for that kind of Haiku. I'm fond of traditions ^^.
And that's why the metaphor is the most sublime feat of language. While a picture may express a thousand words, a metaphor can do much more, thus, a little Haiku could make flow barrels of ink by its esoteric nature.
Hurray for metaphors! I know it's hard to cram life lessons, morals and teachings into those darned three lines.
Interplay of force; Majestic work in action; The states in motion.
Looking at it from the perspective my physics class gave me. The last line is referring to the stages of matter communicating the first line; rather essential to the thing as a whole, but I'm afraid it's too open to other interpretation.
Matrix... That was going to be my final line.. Heh.
