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

Oxygen, life's blood.
How will it feel, when absent?

Are you sure? Google doesn't turn up any results and i can't find it in a dictionary.
Slang from hundreds of years ago generally isn't found in a modern dictionary. I found it in my "Renaissance Dictionary" I got from a garage sale a few days ago.


Fallen, um, deadline? I'd say Tuesday.

Icy blue liquid,
Poison became a shaper;
Essence of fire.

I like that line.

That is why I put it in that form in the haiku. It is interchangeable.

Thank God. If Oreo was still judging, July would be pretty accurate though.

Mmm, about 5 months! Not too bad. Kinda missing contributing on here. Decided to check in and see what's happening. So, what's happening?

I should probably enter this round instead of just chatting. A little rusty, here we go.

Starting and ending.
