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

Most likely this round.. As long as you follow the rules properly and accordingly the next round you should be fine.. If it continues you could possibly not be allowed to enter this contest anymore.

From what I've seen since coming in..the only time someone makes another entry is if they are fixing something from their past entry that had a mistake in it

This round, it looks like only xxBoogiemaNxx posted a second one, and only because his first had too few syllables to qualify. You posted 5 and at least one was plagarized.

Since 2 rules were broken, it will likely be at least this round, but I'll wait for Mav to give his ruling.

A wave of a hand,
Do we dare to know the truth?
Of haunting sweet dreams.

A flash, and I've gone.
Now you see me, now you don't.
Abracadabra.

For funsies

Simple sciences,
Holding everlasting lies,
Which fill hearts with joy.

A different approach to my normal Haiku writing style...breaking a rule that I usually try to abide by when writing my Haiku's: Never have all three lines make a complete or run-on sentence..
