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

1. I got lots of homework to do.
2. I'm going to a party today and spending the night until midafternoon tomorrow.

HOPEFULLY I get it done by Sunday night.

On a more serious note, I can't believe I actually missed the deadline for this. :/

I'm still busy guys...

I actually wanna say something...

This round and the next round will be my final judgings...

I am too caught up with my grandma in the hospital and school to do this anymore. I will have a similar contest like Mav did when I was picked as judge, unless Mav will gracefully volunteer to take the job back again.

I will miss you all. *sobs*

I'll try to get judging done by tonight.

Aw, your judging isn't as fun as it usually is. Usually everyone got judged and got their own little category/title!

got nothing to do... I could judge...[i] hint hint.

My Haiku is Lyrics from one of the best songs by the Beatles.

All you need is love,
All you need is love,
love, love, love is all you need.

You make me happy by referencing this song. Beatles forever!

Love...

Beating hearts are forever;
We are forever together,
In Death's morbid embrace.

Is this you being happy about that, or sad that you could only choose 5 from that amount(and it meant more work for you)?
