A warm evening,
Sitting in a tree's cool shade,
An apple drops down.

 

[Pepper Mint]

Thought of riding light,
Beautiful mind,
Wasn't he?

This isn't Haiku.

[Deepak K Kapur]

Physics in nature abound,
Understanding in brain,
Matter apprehends matter.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

I think that this thread
Will only work if people
Can count syllables

What is a Haiku?
Uncertainty overall.
Don't know where I am.

 

[PeroK]

Timeless and spaceless
Blind to the universe, yet
Illuminates all

 

[axmls]

For every action
An equal and opposite
Reaction appears

 

[Clever Penguin]

A wonderful mind
The universe revealed in
Glorious detail

(BTW, I can't win either prize, so pick another winner )
(I have made this the Haiku for July 2016 on my website )

 

[Pepper Mint]

Upside down alert!
All positive charge lovers
Are Lewis bases.

No one voted for me

I think the contest was closed by accident and has been reopened. However, I didn't understand your first line (but it's 45 years since I last did chemistry).

A warm evening,
Sitting in a tree's cool shade,
An apple drops down.

I like this, but I don't pronounce "evening" with three syllables so for me it isn't a Haiku!

Sorry mine doesn't make sense.

I checked and it turns out no one pronounces it with three syllables. For some reason I thought three syllables was the technically correct pronunciation that no one ever uses, but it isn't.

Consider "evening" changed to "afternoon" and it's a haiku.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

Consider "evening" changed to "afternoon" and it's a haiku.

Yes, and one I would definitely "like" if you can get it changed.

 

[zoobyshoe]

@Greg Bernhardt , would it be possible to change the word "evening" to "afternoon" in my haiku? Jonathan Scott would like it if you did. Thank you.

it started strangely
we think but cannot answer
who knows what banged?

 

[EnumaElish]

May be practical,
but that's not why we do it:
sex is like physics.

I might have said:

In theory at least
Physics is better than sex
That's why we do it!
