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

It is pretty obvious that there was romantic content in it.

But if there are underage users reading it they mightn't understand it.

Naughty or Nice?
Blazing fire, chilled ice,
Between the edge of two worlds.
Naughty? Or rather, nice?

Thanks for the critiques, Palp.
In case you doubt the word fire
In case you doubt the word chilled

In case you doubt the word fire

Fire automatically conforms to whatever amount (1-2) fits for the participant. But your last line is 6 syllables.
Naugh(1)ty(2)? Or(3) ra(4)ther(5), nice(6)?

Unintentionally, I realise my Haiku looks like male genitalia.

Oh, I fail once more.

Naughty or Nice?
Blazing fire, chilled ice,
Between the edge of two worlds.
Naughty? Or what about nice?

New version! Thanks Palp!

Sorry. I'm being zoned out.

Naughty or Nice?
Blazing fire, chilled ice,
Between the edge of two worlds.
Naughty? Rather, nice?

Here is my try:

A pond is always a pond
Nobody can change a pond
Even if the pond has expand
A pond is forever a pond

Needs to be 3 lines, not 4.

First line has 5 syllables, not the 7 yours has.
Third line has 5, not the 8 yours has.

Again my second try:

Naughty or Nice?

Naughty or Nice rather be ice
Naughty or Nice are all with Christ
Naught or rather be nice
On Christmas Ice Christ will rise

3 not 4 lines.

First line has more than 8 syllables.
Second has more than 7 syllables.
Third has more than 5 syllables,

A Haiku is a three line poem with a 5-7-5 format.
