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
Write haikus for the poetry contest. Usually there is a theme, not a poem-type requirement (though there seem to be this time). You will at least have to wait for a while. No one is really stopping you from making haikus and putting them in a thread.
Hey, I just said entries were closed on Friday. I said nothing of judging. And Cenere, despite what you may think, I am truly thankful for keeping this thread in order. I had church and play rehearsal today.
Wow... This thread is really picking up steam.
Let me start with all the DOH!'s. (Too many or too little syllables) Armpit!
Snow is no object As no snow knows no limits And snow's nose so cold
Last line is 6 syllables.

Snowballs are thrown high The kids have a war, then Inside for cocoa
A good haiku, soiled by a six-syllable middle line. ___________________________________________________________
