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
Breathtaking beauty Earth's unblemished purity Disguising all flaws
Well hopefully that's better.
@Dudeguy: I have a request or perhaps it could be a challenge, I wish you to be a decent judge and post a critique whether it's good or bad like it used to be before our "co-judges" decided to make this a rush job in which we get a short list of names of who made it and who didn't.
Hmm, better remove that "unofficial, since it apparently will be the one that is actually judged, and not just a 'duuuurrr' round while we waited. Fascinating.
For the sake of.... It might never have been on time, but it is not the best way to prove they can handle it, and that this thread shouldn't either be locked or at least downgraded. And with that fast judging last time and....
It is tempting, though. But instead I will ask people to stop complaining because it is not very productive, and if Dudeguy has been delayed for reasons that could not have been avoided, it is not the funniest thing to get back to. Another note is that no one should try and judge this when Dudeguy so easily claimed this to be his turn, nor should there be appointed another judge, how reasonable it might be. Dudeguy's wishes.
I will recommend you to go join up in the - other poetry contest (Tanza, was it?), and leave this be until something happens in this case, whatever that might be.
Yeah. Cenere, you judge it!
I won't. It would be right about as fair as rolling a die.
