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

_____________________________________________________________________

5th Place: murasaki9

A silent cry for help
whispered loudly in the dark
is heard, titanic

I like the oxymoron in there. Really emotioned it out. Is that a word? ........ Keep it up!

4th Place: Darktroop07

I am lost in time.
I can't find any help here.
Will I get back home?

Will you? I don't know. I like the intensity set in, making me feel what you're feeling... pain. Nice

3rd Place: Luthix

Desolate, dreary,
Despondent of desire,
Discordant of death.

Not sure if the D's are intentional or not, but I like the format of it. Clever job! Welcome to the contest!

2nd Place: Bladerunner679

the shambling of souls
lost forever in the void
save them from their fate.

I thought it was beautiful. Captured the theme perfectly and made me want to EAT SAD SALAD......... what? Uh.... Good job....

1st Place: Ernie15

A memo of stones.
Is it visible from space?
Or is this my doom?

I loved the image you showed in this man. Great use of rhythm and a great haiku! Go to a mod.... NOW.

____________________________________________________________________

Okay, congrats to everyone.

Next theme: Flaming Water.

Due: June 29th.

Here's the first attempt at this.

I found water here
I found my throat burnt and charred
I found pollution

Flaming water? Huh?

Raise your sword higher

it will engulf you

I didn't place...O wait. I didn't make one.

Trains.

When I get that song stuck in my head I replace it with this:

OK. Haiku time:

My fire burns everywhere
It burns all, water is not safe
No one cannot control it

How?

The water flaming
Red and orange reflects off blue
How did it happen?

There's my haiku.

Aqua Vitae is Latin for Water of Life. One of the nicknames of Vodka.

Hi guys,

This is an important announcement regarding the future of this contest. After deliberation on the status of the Haiku Contest, we will no longer be giving any merits to the Haiku Contest for the foreseeable future. The judging has been lackluster or nonexistent. It fails to adequately highlight why the winner was chosen over all other entries. The judge has also consistently shown to be unable to handle the position in a professional manner. This is why we have decided to no longer honor any merits won in the Haiku Contest. We ask that you find a new judge that can behave in a professional and thorough manner. Simply, we ask for merit-quality judging for merit-quality winners. If the judge proves to be capable, we may consider restoring the prize.
