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

That's not a word, and therefore there should not be a period there.


If the sentence is over, we put a period at the end. Otherwise, the sentence would flow straight into the next sentence I'm hungry for Mexican food.

Mmmm-hmmm.

My unlimited apologies to y'all.

This won't fit my standard of judging, but I'm short on time.

3rd place: playaholic!

when a lady falls,
i will dash right to her side,
thats service to me

2nd place: Yodadude!

My job really sucks
It is so very boring
But I want money

Don't we all?


First place: Crab65!

Come here, lesser one
Bring me something to enjoy
And make it snappy

You just think to yourself *bitchh*. Also, to Crab, judging takes time. You could fill in for me next time if you want to see. Only for you, though.

Crab, get yo merit at any mod's profile.

For the rest of you...

HAPPY HAIKUING!

How about I just become the official theme person.

Next theme is Love, due to Valentines day coming up. I will be judging.

I was going to put murder, do to the whole St. Valentines Day massacre, but I decided against it. xD

The same theme as the poetry contest at the same time? Not a great plan... :/

People could submit haikus in the poetry contest and this contest simultaneously for one...

And? I would hope they would have a bit more creativity than that. It's their choice.

Although they probably won't win. No, no they won't. Lack of creativity is a big no no for me.

Hope you don't mind a 5-5-7 syllable scheme.

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
A-A-Afternoon delight

And I really hope you don't mind plagiarism. Here's my real entry:

Love is a feeling
That we are not all born with
Blessing or a curse?

The last line was inspired by Monk. :P

I'm heartbroken
I really thought I was loved
But you deceived me

Assuming Dudeguy said this, that'll have to wait until next week. We alternate, and this is my turn.

Just in case you didn't know.

Oops that should be:

I'm so heartbroken
I really thought I was loved
But you deceived me

Thanks for pointing that out.
