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

Welcome to the Haiku Contest. We are currently deliberating some technical details on how to reward contest winners, but feel free to post a theme-based Haiku as this round ends tonight at midnight (AG time).
Because private chat doesn't exist so it could get hacked from someone reading comments.
I'm assuming you all have e-mails addresses? Or if you wish to retain privacy, you could simply go through Xat which offers private chats for all users regardless of whether or not you have an account.
In case merits come back new winners could receive them there. Also, with a thread unnecessary posts will only get deleted if you report them; on a profile the owners can delete them.
