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

Time flows waywardly.
Another age fades to dust.
It touches me not.

Well if we look at ageing as the progression of time then it makes complete sense - not just dying of old age but of events during the constant progression of time.

I'm so newbish maybe I'll try to write a better haiku this time...


A wall of old tools
lit by the light of their time
aching to be used.

Hope this is good enough...reminds me of ma dads tools.

the Advil doesn't do much

Feel time flow onwards;
The end draws ever closer.
I tire, yet sleep not.

Love the theme, but the spelling is beginning to grate. At least now people know how to bug me. :b

I wasn't using sarcasm. Anyhoo, here's my Haiku.
We tend to grow old
But without time we are lost
We have lot's of time

*My haiku is aging inside me*
No seriously, I wanted to put something here and update it later, but I'm scared someone'll make use of my genius idea...

Heres my slightly edited version of my haiku:

A wall of old tools-
lit by the light of their time-
aching to be used.

I change my entry:

Brain cells are dieing,
Yet I am at my smartest.
Aging can be good.

What?...

Spurred by the aging
The forgotten one will be
the best of them wines

That's it for the now, but I'm most likely to change it sometime before the deadline...

"Regrets"
A haiku by Aknerd

Placed on graves of foes
Old rose still has many thorns
But longs to be bare
