Biweekly (i.e. Every Two Weeks) Haiku Contest
Rules and Entry Requirements:
1.) Post here saying that you want to enter and you’ll be accepted. Please note that the limit for entries is twelve per contest and signup ends once that tally has been met or the deadline for signups and submissions has passed.
2.) Participation requires simply that all entrants write a three-line short poem in haiku format (the alternating "Five-Seven-Five Syllables" per line set up) to be voted upon once all entries have been submitted (which will be copy-and-pasted into this post when I have the time to do so). All submissions are final, but the only restrictions are that participants have until the second Wednesday after this post has been made to submit their poems here. The fan fiction moderator may scrutinize the quality of poems and completely unintelligible submissions might automatically disqualified; however, you will not be penalized for occasional small errors.
3.) All writings much have bear some hinting to the select theme for each contest, just to keep things somewhat even. The theme for this contest will be Nature and Wildlife. Poems will be judged by other members of PokéBeach after the submission deadline has passed by means of an open poll people can select their three favorite poems from. The poll will remain open to everyone for three days following the submission deadline. Once it has been closed, the winner (or winners) will be determined by who gets the most votes, and the runner ups will be determined accordingly as well.

Submitted Haikus (in order authors entered contest)
1.) My palms fall, on the tree.
They led me to the adventure.
The woods of the tree.
2.) Something Shiny
I danced in the rain.
Underneath the soft moonlight.
Oh look, a penny!
3.) Grass grows, seasons change
The world turns, never ending
Our lives, prospering
4.) A Haiku for Summer
The sun heats the earth
The wind blows to keep it cool
Creating balance
5.) A Haiku Of Hope
Through the winter winds,
The isolated plant thrives,
Blooming beautifully.
6.) Look at the beaver
Its short, its fat, it looks dumb
But mom, its so cute.
7.) as the thick snow falls
i stand outside silently
blizzard clears my mind
8.) Where the redwood grows
Bees buzz, birds fly, fish swimming
Perfect place to camp
9.) Land of crystal seas
Surrounded by golden trees
Can cure my disease
10.) Changing with the trees
I let go of my past wrongs
Turning a new leaf
11.) The True Nature of Summer
Like hot coals, burning.
My feet burn from the grass plains.
Thanks, global warming.
