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
Sorry, no. It's past the deadline. Submissions can't be accepted after that.
I pronounce it "mo-zayk" in this.
I'll let it slide this time, just because I didn't make a rule regarding this yet, but next time please find a source that accepts this. The greek endings of 'aic' or 'oic' tend to be split into 2 syllables, such as in archaic, algebraic, stoic, heroic.
NEW RULE: if you're unsure of a word's syllables due to regional differences or otherwise, find a reputable source that agrees with your pronunciation.
I'm working on the critiques now. In the meantime, since there have been a lot of resubs this round, can someone please verify that I've got everyone's final sumissions? I'd hate to leave someone out or judge the wrong one.

I'll have the results up tonight unless I missed someone's.
OK, next time it won't happen, Palpatine. Sorry about that.
No problem.
Palp, is it possible for you to judge mine and disregard it as part of the competition?
Ok.

To find salvation in a frozen paradise, where bodies lie still.
This is a sentence fragment, which makes little sense alone, creating a lack of flow. I like how it begins a bit hopeful, that the land itself is a beautiful place, then ends with the crushing, dismal reality that the land is like a graveyard. Overall, a good idea, but the execution could have been a bit better.
