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
My honey is yuck It tastes like my foot and it smells like muck.
The ryming kinda throws it off. And no honey is yuck.

Bears use camouflage, They're the ninjas of nature. But then...Boom! Headshot!
You said it yourself... and ninjas are quick. Bears are lumbering.
8th place:

My fur is sticky From eating to much honey I am not pooh bear.
Very little context clues, and you can never eat too much honey.
7th place is off to:

Three scratches engraved BEARS! Wait, whats under the scratches? Oh, my fingernails
DOH! Middle line is eight sylables. Plus I liked your first version better. Still, there's nothing like being alone in the forest a seeing scratch marks on a tree, and hearing heavy breathing behind you.
6th place goes too:
yielee!
In The Berry Bush, The Sound Of Bears Approaching! ...crouching down to hide.
The bear sleeps 'til spring For then it will awaken And eat the salmon.
Not only salmon! Could of replaced some words to fancier words, like instead of "eat", "gouge". Queer.
Silver (3rd place):
hypoxia!
For thy brown giant A mighty foe to every Nothing can compare
Very little to relate to the theme, but if you know it, you definetly hit the description nail on the head.
Gold (2nd place):
marioman327!
Storm of long, brown hair Majesty mixed with terror I will not survive
Once again, if you did'nt know the theme, you would have trouble guessing, but if you did, excellent.
SUPER PLATNUM! (Winner):
choazmachine!
My porridge is gone The honey is now empty Culprit sleeps soundly
As someone said, this is excellent. Again, I would run away from my house. Just tell Zophia? or Carlie you won the Haiku contest. Also, pick the theme by Sunday.
