Judging


I and @verbal-d have judged all the entries based on originality, creativity, and clever-wittiness

Announcing The Winners!


This week was extremely difficult to judge, there were so many great entries so big congrats to you all

Special Mention:


@Twotripleow

”Steemit State Of Mind”

Poets re-unite
Ya boi: @Verbal-D is dope
Scotty: The best host


A special mention to @Twotripleow for calling out to us! We appreciate you to the fullest.

Honourable Mention # 1:


@Puppetmaster1111’s

”Furniture”


The neglected child
Treated like old furniture
Alone in darkness

A very unsettling and raw poem of child abuse. May that child find the light and escape. Congrats

Honourable Mention # 2:


@Prayzz’s

”Untitled”

Crumbs of bread scattered
Little droplets of water
Hope to the hungry…

A very positive and hopeful poem that raises awareness to world hunger and how a little can go a long way towards a solution. Congrats

Honourable Mention # 3:


@ahna8911’s

”If The Feeling Is Gone”


Hurts but never show
This pain you will never know
Dumped and forgotten…

A very real and relatable poem. We all have had to come to terms with rejection in some form or another. You are quite the Haiku poet. Congrats

3rd Place:

1.5 SBD/STEEM

@Gamsam’s

Untitled


With their swords for tongues
They pierced my soul with more guilt
Than the sin itself

This was such a great Haiku, and poetically sharp in delivering its message of shame and backlash for our actions when we make a bad choice or mistake, we wonder what you would title this. Congrats.

2nd place.png

2nd Place:

2.5 SBD/STEEM

@Mordiki’s

Dangerous Heroism


Sometimes to save lives
You must be willing to risk
Losing yours one day…

Fantastic entry with great imagery. This was very inspiring and a feel good Haiku to go and change the world, even if it is dangerous. Congrats.

1st Place:

4 SBD/STEEM

@Mayliberty’s

Unheard Words


If I was a fly
On your cold wall…I would hear
What you think of me…

You have such a clever way with words and this was a top Haiku. We loved the imagery of the sinister fly and the statue of liberty makes us think of Freedom of Speech. Now it makes us wonder what people say about us behind closed doors. 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. I had a lot of fun reading them all and deciding the winners. Everyone gave their best and they were all great poems. I will be posting the next contest "Week 23” 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 23. Best of luck to you all, and thanks again in making Haikus Great Again.

This contest is 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.
