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

Thanks Mav. I'm not an expert when it comes to poems, but free merits? I'm signing up!

Without direction,
Subject to all but yourself,
Mourn, for the pond's slave.

I would like to announce that I will not be here during the week that this contest is to be judged.

So, either someone is going to have to take my place (Fallen, I'm looking in your direction), or you can wait for me to judge a week or so after this round ends.

Maverick should judge, since he did it last round.

I could jump in as judge if need be it, if Fallen isn't back.

I wasn't aware that you need to add punctuation. Well I will try that out know.


Frogs catching insects
as they leap on lily pads,
fish watch from below.

Pads.The great felling of a
Breeze and mustiness.

Pond

Deep in the forest
A pond of fishes and frogs
Sits peacefully still.

The green lily glides,
Gracefully across the pond,
Breaking the silence.

Frogs jumping on lily


That is six syllables. Frogs-jump-ing-on-lil-y.
You might need to redo your whole haiku.

Petals float calmly,
Twirling circles in the blue
Of the Lily Pond

gleaming from the sun,
lily pads silently twirl.
yes, you have found peace.

I kinda plagiarized myself from the Pond theme.

Splash, strength, fight, drown, ice,
Beneath the leaves of power,
I have become lost.

Perhaps a looser interpretation of the theme.

Frog contemplates life
Lillies bear scents and colours
Life is well in frog's still pond.

I love the childishness of my poem.
