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
Nicho's poem will be proudly displayed in the about of the account HaikuContestWinners, at least until an official archive is made.
If I am permitted to say it, the theme for the next round will be Uprising, and will be due on the 25th of October.
This will remain in effect unless dudeguy shows up before Thursday. If he shows up during or after Thursday, the theme remains in effect, but he'll be judging it. If he doesn't show up by Monday, then I'll be judging this round for sure. Fair enough?
Parsat has got the Poetry contest locked down it seems. And I wouldn't want to usurp Emp and dudeguy of their positions.
I'm not sure if Parsat said he wanted the position permanently, but.. You just be on standby, okay?
Should you lack inspiration, give the song by Muse a listen to
That song was the first thing that came into my head when I saw the theme
The current theme stands. I'll be judging.
Well I'm glad we have a bit more competent judge at the moment. I mean I know I haven't been participating in this thread for a very long while but I have been secretly keeping up with the judging so I have grounds to say that :P
When I first saw the title, I was going to do a joke one with Muse lyrics ("lolz I'm so clever" I thought to myself...) Then I read and realized Mav already mentioned them.
