From here on out:
ONLY submissions or questions on submissions may be posted. Make sure to indicate what a submission is when you post it.

If anything like what has been happening with CherryD and Jettie12 happens again, the members involved will be disqualified, no questions asked. Unless a haiku posted here is a submission, please refrain.

Amendment:
Disqualification may be withdrawn. PM me with why it may be withdrawn and I will pardon you but put you on probation, so that the next offense, you will not be pardonable.

I suppose this is a submission, but this is a haiku set I wrote on election day.

Morgan one-oh-nine
Sonia, Aura, Tyler Woods
One Colt forty-five

Bristol got knocked up
Sarah is still so so hot
But not our vice prez

Obama, McCain
Ohio and Virginia
Aura could not vote.

Are they separate submissions, or all one thing in stanzas?

Once upon a time  
  No fairy tales existed  
  ...

If it doesn't fit in as a haiku then it can't be considered.

 

  I just lost my train of thought. Or is it thoughts?  

  That isn't supposed to be considered.


It's a good start, finish it.

 

  Once upon a time  
  No fairy tales existed  
  Just raw emotions  

  Well, that ended bad.



  Indeed that haiku
  sucked, it did, to great extent
  Expectedly so

 

  Oh damn you Jettie  
  Just keep talking and talking  
  Never makes a point



Oh you, denial
How sweet it must truly be
When haiku does suck

Quote pyramids suck
Both of you shut the hell up
Hey, that kinda rhymed.

Haikus are a cinch.
But they often don't make sense

I float over the world with such ease.
Faery Dust sprinkles from my pant legs. It cures blind orphans.
The triangle people have put on their dance mittens. Love is all around.
I spew glazed donut holes for everybody.

They are two lovebirds
In their own fantasy life
too bad it won't last

She feels so Lonley
She is afraid to love him
So she will just cry

Here is my submission.
I gave myself like two minutes to think of something.
So don't be surprised that it's lame. But I tried!

The stars up above
I think of you day and night,
so close to my heart

Question:

Can you explain or give an example of what you mean by "quality of the portrayal of the message".

Basically that the meaning gets across, but in a pretty way, not a blunt way.

You aren't disqualified, or anything, as I made the rule after your other posts.
