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'

Thanks acmed. I think the problem is in how the words are pronunced. Which is fine, because people from different places usally speak in different accents or tones. But is it agreed that the website is right? I usally use it when I doubt my syallables for haikus.

I havn't done this in ages! Still seems fun though.

Circle
The elder, the chief,
The hunter of the village,
A new baby boy.

Lion King FTW!

Here's my entry, not my best...It tried. I'm exhausted, just got back from 2 1/2 hour work out >_<.

Entry:
A subtle beauty
Slowly being used, abused.
Now gone and ugly.

couldn't think of a way to get my point across...ah well!
