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

Branching as flora--
the labyrinth's end, held secret.
Life: profound journey.

The Long, Forsaken Road

Believed to be naught,
A myth; but I remember,
For I strayed on it.

That's only 6 syllables


Towards (2) The (1) Destination (4). That's, *GASP!*... 7 syllables!

The site obviously has a glitch.

Unless you pronounce 'towards' with one syllable, like some of us do.


But it's 2 syllables. See.

I'm judge, so MajicTree's poem is accepted for judging. End of story.

I pronounce labyrinth as 2 sometimes with they y silent. The site I posted earlier also says it's 2. I guess it's dialect and preference but whatev.

There's no end I see
God has forgotten this place
Yet I continue

Unlike Mav, I like judging the day after the deadline


You ungrateful little...

*angrily writes haiku*

Cast out by the world,
No one here to wipe my tears,
Emotions erupt.

Aimlessly searching
Wandering for days on end
Yet, going nowhere

Like I said before, yes.

If you pronounce words with different syllables from your accent or just the way you speak, point it out, and I'll accept it. This is only to a limit though. Antidisestablishmentarianism isn't 2 syllables anywhere.
