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

Love is from the heart
Lighting all of your dark paths
So you wont be lost.


I think we have a wrong-theme-case here.
Seriously guys, even though I was a pretty late son of a judge, I managed to get the theme changed.
Oh, don't mind me, I'm just having a little...lust for power.

Because it feels good to be the king!

Fine... be that way...

Water Fishies

I sit by the drink
Watch the fishies swim away
What if I was them?


This is my actual entry.

Don't be mad at me, I was venting at the judges for not having noticed a mod to change the theme; it's not your fault.
I think the actual theme is ''derailment''...

The judging was supposed to be on the 28th.

I think that Orion is busy with something though, I haven't seen him in a few days.

If this is something like a 10 day thing, they might as well change it to a 15 day thing, since that's how long the judging takes.

It's actually a five day contest. Frank judged the last one on February 22nd and gave the judge title to Orion. The last day for submitting a haiku was on the 27th. Judging was supposed to take place on the 28th.

I wasn't really mad. I just was being stubborn. =)

You can't use that in the haiku anyway Oreo. It's too many syllables.

I really should have
Seen it coming, I really
Should, but I did not


I only did that to annoy Orion. Don't take it seriously.

Haha thank you
Every judge we've had, and i'm not blaming Orion or anyone else, has seem to have the bad luck of not being able to judge on time. It must be some sort of curse...THE CURSE OF THE HAIKU CONTEST JUDGES -dramatic music and lightning occurs in background- oh well, patience is a virtue I suppose.

Is this seriously the new theme? haha, well ok then here we go:

-I should have seen it coming-
Sneaking out at night
Not answering my phone calls.
why would she leave me!?
