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
Well, since a mistake on my part, I messed up last weeks Champions exibit. So, heres a fixed one (I hope)
Champions Exibit: Ernie and Bronze
Ernie:
The trees up above Mock me as I sit seaward The branches in vain
Bronze:
This boreal is real City of trees, sea of pines For miles unseen
The two champions, Ernie from the last contest, and Bronze from the last-last contest. Oh, Doesnt that just make sense...?
Wood Plaque Award: Shayneii
Crisp breeze; autumn air Whooshing wind, swirling needles; Needles bathe my feet.
You were going good, till the last line. The flow kinda stoped, and the repeat of 'needles' right after eachother kinda killed it. Still you did rank, right?
Silver Plaque: TerryLasVegas
The sea is peaceful Cold air rushing through the pines Swaying in the wind
Pretty Good. You described it really well, and it just worked. And it also seems that those that regularly show up are getting better in their works...
Gold Plaque: DudeGuy45
At the peaceful cove Millions of pine trees grow Sit down, take it in.
Its descriptive, and it fits the scence really well. However, 'cove' and 'grow' sound similar, and sorta throw the haiku off just a tad bit...
Platinum-Certified Plaque: hypoxia

This means you've won a merit! Yay! Go as Carlie and tell her you won the 'Haiku Contest'
