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

I visit the pond,
It's just like spring in winter,
Just sprinkle me with sea.

I watch the smog clouds,
My dry mouth waiting for rain,
My sane mind incaged.

Yes, I know. I noticed that as I clicked the submit button. Freakin' homophones.

S'time I try a Haiku again, 'specially with such a nice theme.

Quietude enfolds me,
While chill rain drops play me a
Silver sinfonia.

I looked it up, but can anyone confirm that chill is an adjective equally usable than chilly?

Turns out certain words don't have the same amount of syllables in English than in French.. it sounded so good... *sigh*

This here should have the correct amount of syllables (stupidly 'me' now rhymes with 'symphony' so I had to change that too... argh):

Calmness enfolds all,
While chill rain drops play me a
Silver symphony.

I like this one. It's easier to understand then the first, and the message still comes across the same way.

Sprinkle on downward,
A quintessent miasma,
Of cleansing power.

I seriously hope I spelled "Quintessent" right. :I

Rain falls tenderly
I walk carelessly around,
Catching sly teardrops

Haunting piano notes
Made by the pitter-patter,
Of cold Prussian skies.

Haiku drops falling,
Pleasing my feelings like rain.
Seems like a nice place.

I just hope it does not violate too much rules of English language

Must have poems in by today. No clue when I'll get judging done. I is sick.
