I discussed this idea with Slayr231 and he said it would be okay for me to start this contest. If anyone has any criticisms or questions, please direct them to me via PM or VM. This is only a trial run to see if this gets any attention. If mods feel like it's too problematic, close it down and tell me why.

Biweekly Haiku Contest I
Rules and Entry Information
1.) Signups are determined on a first-come/first-serve basis. Entrants must submit an entry when they ask to signup, otherwise their spot will be forfeited to the next contestant who enters a poem. Slots will not be saved if people ask to reserve them.
2.) This is a haiku-only contest, meaning that entrants are expected follow a five-seven-five syllable format for a three-line stanza. Poems will be proofread before being added to the entry list, and ones that come close to the format may still be added so long as they come within a few syllables of the requirement.
3.) All poems must incorporate a select theme each round. Due to writers' interpretations of themes, entries will not be turned down so long as the theme is at least referenced in the poem. However, poems that have nothing to do with the theme at all will be disqualified.
4.) The entry period ends the second Wednesday after this thread has been posted, or whenever all slots have been filled. Voting will commence afterward and be conducted via ballots submitted to me by Private Message or Visitor Message. Voters are only allowed to vote for three entries per contest. In the event of a tie or lack of votes, I will make the deciding vote. Votes will be tallied on the Sunday after the entry period ends.
Round Theme: Nature (Not Pokémon-related)
Entry Deadline: Wednesday, November 20th, 2013
Voting Deadline: Wednesday, November 27th, 2013
*Rules, timescales, and other parameters are subject to change without notice.
Entry List
1.) By Rococo
A frozen river
A dormant time in all forms
But life merely sleeps
2.) By LostinKalos
Fireflies are flying
While wingless birds are slowly dying
The way of life, that is
3.) By Slayr231
Sprouting from the ground,
Slowly stretching for the sky,
Never rushed, perfect.
4.) By AlexOzzyCake
The pure blessing, Earth
Waited to break through the frost
Now emerges strong
5.) By Cutlerine
A thin snarl of wind—
The forest shrugs its shoulders—
Leaves, and then silence.
6.) Frost (By BlahISuck)
as the first light breaks
countless sunbeams dance across
a crystal clearing
7.) Birth (By Manska)
Bleating, scared and wet
The newborn opens it's eyes
To a brand new world
8.) Winter (By ProjectMisfit)
The snow falls,
With a chill overwhelming,
While we seek warmth.
9.) By Khawill
Forgotten flowers
Forced to grow all by themselves
And yet they all thrive.
10.) By bobandbill
Screaming, whistling,
Scratching off branches and leaves,
Pounding at the door.
11.) By isthatyoudan
The small hidden spring
Hear the sounds of the water
A fish passes by.
