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

All hope of me. Lost.
As not for long you will bloom.
Good Bye. See you soon.

Don't worry, I found another way to fix it, other than go throguh and look at all the rules and exceptions and stuff like that :P I decided I'll just rewrite it all together, if that's ok. :/

Lily of Light

Lily, born to light.
Thrives, fighting against it's fate.
Lives only to die.

Please pardon the stupidity on my part. Thank you very much
See you next round!

Don't you think soon and bloom is pushing it on the rhyming? It is in fact a slant rhyme I suppose.

You can rewrite it as many tiems as you want, as long as you state which one you'll be entering. Which you have, so you're good.

This last line doesn't make any sense.

And is that your actual submission. Because this isn't joke poetry.

Mocking me every day


That's 6 syllables, not 7. Has to be 5-7-5.

Actually I think you can stretch it into 7:

Mo-cking me e-ver-e day

I'm no expert, so I might be wrong.

Nope every link I've found says it's 2, not 3.
He could change it to "Mocking me every morning" or something like that.
