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

Wow I even double checked my grammar.......

I lie here stranded
On this Island of Torture;
Hear my S.O.S.


There. Still don't know how I could let something like that slip through.

This one doesn't count. It's not a haiku. Pretty good in standard poem form though...

SOS
Desolate, dreary,
Despondent of desire,
Diminished, deferred to death.

Shucks, I miscounted. Revised and complete form:

SoS
Desolate, dreary,
Despondent of desire,
Discordant of death.

(1)How (2)i (3)ro (4)nic. 4 syllables. Needs to be 5 or it won't count.

Thanks for pointing that out EmperorPalpatine. I try to be correct when it comes to how many syllables are in a word but sometimes I make a mistake. I hope I didn't make another one by fixing it.

S.O.S is still
around but mores code isn't.
How strange!

SOS? I think I can do that.

Here is my best try
A silent cry for help
whispered loudly in the dark
is heard, titanic.

How unusual!

It can be so hard sometimes to make a haiku. Thanks to everyone who corrected me earlier. If I still don't have it right then I'm not fixing it again cause I'm out of ideas.

Should be 'Morse code', since it's named after its inventor Samuel Morse.

Night falls quickly here.
