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
I've been asked to do the judging. I'm still feeling awful after two weeks so I'll only post the five Haikus that deserved to win the most, in no particular order.
If you want a full bodied judging, you're free to go ask somone else, that's about all I can invest for now. Thanks for your comprehension.
A dead face is covered. The passing lilies conceal My hidden bodies.
Woops! Forgot to change the first line.
I meant to say:
A covered dead face; The passing lilies conceal My hidden bodies.
I would also like to note that I dislike the semi-colon in the first line, but apparently not having punctuation in every line is a felony or something.
