@Pjay96's

Enemies Of Truth


With armies they stood
Remorseless and cruel, razing
just to fight the truth

We really enjoyed this powerful and strongly written poem, it sent a very real awakening message to what is going on in the world today.... Congrats.

Thank you to all the participants who made this contest a success. This week, we had so many amazing entries and it was very hard for us to judge. We had a lot of fun reading them all and deciding the winners. Everyone gave their best effort and they were all great poems, however please make sure that you check your syllables and words before you enter and submit your entry. There were some great entries that would have won but they were not a Haiku. Thanks again.

I will be posting the next contest "Week 16" in the very next post today. If you didn't win this week, then you have another chance to take the top 3 spots in Week 16. Best of luck to you all, and thanks again in making Haikus Great Again.

This contest is now sponsored by @verbal-d and the lovely and kind @soldier, and they support good projects, want to strengthen our community, and give back to our poets. We are grateful for their contribution and commitment to us.

Would you also like to support this contest as a sponsor so that the winning prizes can be more rewarding for our participants? Please contact @moonleesteem on steemit.chat or reach me in the comments section below for more info.

Thank you all again and I'll see you in the next post.

                        Great competition and thanks for running it.

                        Loved all the references to nature / the seasons in the winners' entries.
