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
Deleted two some pages of witty, wise comments that do not need to be here. It never fails. The judge is late, people get fed up, then they're all "hey, let's make tongue-in-cheek haikus representing how much the judge is late!"
You will wait for the judge to give the ratings. If the thread goes months without a report, then so be it.
I watch the smog clouds, My dry mouth waiting for rain, My sane mind incaged.
This showed the mental part of the theme, dair. Really showed good emotion in there. I like it. +1 internet!
4th Place: DevilishConcoction
Sprinkle on downward, A quintessent miasma, Of cleansing power.
Great use of vocabulary. It seems you are quite new here as well. Not bad, placing on the first try. Well done!
3rd Place: invisibleninjagirl
When the floods rise up And the rain begins to fall, We dance in the storm.
I like the image you are showing in this one. It's a good way to think of it. Most people find rain a bad thing, you find it joyful, and so do I. 10 points for Gryffindor!
2nd Place: goumas13
Rain falls tenderly I walk carelessly around, Catching sly teardrops
Great comparisons in this one! I like it! It showed a great picture and explained it perfectly. Wonderful.
1st Place Merit Winner: HahiHa! (again!)
Calmness enfolds all, While chill rain drops play me a Silver symphony
*applauds* You won again, dude. Excellent. You changed the theme in a great way, using exquisite detail. Ask a mod for your merit now. Run along! Congrats!
Otay here we go. That's the show. This round's theme is now Blooming of Life, just in time for Spring. We'll make it due April 1st. And that's, no joke! *laughs at failed pun*.
