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

Is it okay if I cut out the "v" in everywhere to drop it down to a two syllable word?
what do you mean by dropping the 'v'? I'm not quite sure of what you mean.
Seeing how Icy has no idea on what you mean, I guess I'll answer it. "e'e'ywhere" should work fine. You pronounce it like "Ee-Were." It looks weird and it may not work correctly within your haiku.

Fading for so long
Inert in the sterile bed
How I'd like to die

I'm pretty sure a contraction's a one syllable word, then again, I'm not an English so please advise me if this is not correct.

Line one - 5
Line two - 7
Line three - 5

Looks good to me. Most contractions aren't too much different than the spread out version.

Just what is this Oxygen channel anyway? Here in Quebec we have French Tv, so English channels must be ordered. I have the likes of Fox and Trop but I don't have a clue about this channel you're talkin' bout.

First one where a line doesn't quickly come to mind....

Running through my lungs,
It disperses the poison
That lies in my cells.

The Air we Breath

Thankful for nothing
Not thinking what gives us life

My balloon won't float with you.

Oxygenist isn't, but Deoxygenist is. It's a term that was used hundreds of years ago referring to one who would torture criminals by locking them up in a sealed room and letting them suffocate. Nice job, huh?

Are you sure? Google doesn't turn up any results and i can't find it in a dictionary.

Oh that's right, the deadline...ooops
I was too caught in the task at hand that I totally forgot to emit a deadline date.

So what is it normally? A week? Two?

If it's one week then the deadline's tomorrow, if more I don't know - hey that rhymezeze.
