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

A young bird's first flight
A graceful streak of freedom
Fading in sunlight

Maybe I'll kill you


I chuckled a little. That counts as a lol, I think. Congradulations!

You smile, jumping.
I smile because I took
your parachute. Bye!

Exit from the sky
Blazing into the heavens

Well Enter, I was obviously joking ^^.
And what with that humongous blank space in your post, you fell asleep on your space?
Well Player, that definitely feels like a Beatle song

Part time Judge, or full time Judge?
Because even though I'd like to be for some time, it saddens me that I won't be able to participate anymore...Well, either way, if no one's up to the task, I'd be glad so sure, why not.
Just Give me some news about wheter it'll be just for some weeks or for EVER!

Well it seems like I'm your new judge everyone, bow down and work for me, mwuhahaha...
Just kidding, I'm not one of those who go despotically crazy when they earn power...maybe...
In any case, even though my first tongue's not english, I'm quite the bookworm, and I do fine at analysing symbolism and common litterature so I'll do my best. Those of you who know me are aware that I've been on Ag for a good while now, and are equally aware that I do my best at being objective and constructive so I wish good luck to everyone, I'll do my best to be a ponctual and fair judge. Now, after that prolix speech, I leave you to compose your Haikus.

Here's a copy of my entry for this week - from page 154 (and I know I can't win but still, I like entering.)

a better life waits
unseen and without sorrow
I shed my dark past

If you want an alternate or want someone to replace you, that's your choice. You got full powers now.

Could've fooled me. I seriously didn't know that. o.o

If Fallen ever needs to have time off or can't judge for any reason - I'd be happy to step into the judging gown and shoes temporarily.
