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

If you mean for this week we have found your weakness. You are entering too quick, and not really giving yourself time to think about it.

If I were you, I would give a few days.

Whenever I give anything a few days it doesn't get done :P

I think this one is a little overly pessimistic.

I don't even know what that is, but I guess it is technology.

Like Ernie said about mine, you could replace technology with another three syllable word and it would be about the same.

Technology has 4, so if I did that, it wouldn't be a haiku. O_o
And yeah, I guess you're right about that, but I suppose there's no helping it now.

I'm lazy man... and my creative juices went into writing an essay today, so, later in the week, I suppose.

Okay, suit yourself. I don't have to heckle you because I'm not the judge this round.

The judging for the "light" round has already taken place. It's actually pretty hard to miss. :P

Haha wow I actually won this. I guess I can go claim my prize now.

Before I do that, though, I'll give you something to keep you occupied.

Halt. System error.
Dysfunctional malfunction.
This does not compute.

If there was more room, I would have put in explosion sound effects.
