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

(special thanks to 'thisisnotanalt'

Member - you can only choose one of them to be your Haiku

Yes, I strongly suggest that you make haste when deciding which entry'll be the judged one, for if you don't I won't judge either of these three ^^.
Judging on monday, as stated in the established rules. No stretched lateness this time around; I'm in good shape now!

How about an early judging Fallen if there aren't anymore entries of course.
And I brought some chocolate as a bribe

Our shackles broken
Running, sweat into our wounds
Stinging, but home free

Zaork,please read the topic of the haikus.


Tomer, please read his haiku. It is obviously about freedom. "Trees" is just the title.

But, the Haiku is supposed to be 5-7-5 not 2-2-3

Oh I see the problem, that's counting words, when your supposed to count syllables.

No zoark, it's perfectly fine and well fit for judging, don't worry.
As for hurried judging;
Hurried judging = Spontaneous combustion
So...no...Anyways, people are still submitting right.
