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
I guess I just don't like how you say things like kick in the nuts, or you like that, idiot. It isn't very nice and I feel its pushing some possible participants away. I know you're trying to be funny, but back off a little bit. You're a poetry judge, not a comedian.
See, it's like good cop bad cop, but replace "cop" with "haiku judge". I'm sure you can figure out who is which. Not to mention he totally COPIED MY JUDGIN FORMAT.
