Good Luck 👍

A Gif(t) For You - A Hungry Haiku
Two elderly folks

What a weird gif, huh?

Welcome @alecteed,
Yes this is very funny... we liked it
Good Luck 🤓

Soldiers - Our Guardians

On border they stand
Protecting our motherland
With gun in their hands

Suicide

How good it must be
To bear all the pain at once
Then never again

Beautiful, BUT:

Remorse

How can you know that
you won´t feel the eternal
flames´ licking remorse? 😉

Clever haiku ... great word play.

Thank you!
Yes, I´m pleased as punch with that one. 😎

Welcome @zachaizelle0813,
Very Poetic and real... we enjoyed it
Good Luck 🍀

Thank you very much for warm welcome @moonleesteem 💕
My first time to join this contest. 😥

This is beautiful! This haiku is like a pebble dropped in a pond, it's ripples can reach far beyond its original words <3

Thank you @calluna 💗💗💗

A heart shattered. Great haiku:0

Indeed, a shattered heart that never appreciated by the one she loved.
Thanks @prydefoltz 💕

Winter woes (image - NSFW?)

Maybe I am fat?
For I do not feel that cold
Just warm and content

image labelled for reuse

no nipples so SFW right?
:D

Love your Haiku

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thank you, @crypotcatz! :D

It didn't occur to me that the image lacked nipples (and the effect that would have on its SFW status)! ;)

I must pay more attention when googling for naked people, in future. :D

I think it is a facebook made up kind of standard as to what they see fit to be showed or not (I hate it!)
And nipples seemed to make a hige difference for some reason (read: bullshit)
So yeah, that's just my 2 cents :D

Love your haiku , and the picture goes with it really well 🤗😊

My first ever resteem - at least I know how to do it now. :)

Welcome @zool237,
We really enjoyed this Fun Haiku
Good Luck 👍

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

Welcome @pjay96,
A pleasure to read.
Good Luck

P.S. Please upvote and resteem to qualify!

All done.
Thanks

Ok @pjay96
It’s good to go 👍

Silenty Needing Steem

I'm at loss for words
In this great Haiku contest
Entering to get steem

Welcome @joseirafa,
Haha we liked this... Great Title
Good Luck 👍

I just checked your entry, sorry it's not a Haiku, your third line has one too many syllables. Very nice poem, it could've won.

Title: Not Again 👀

I rubbed my right eye
It was the greatest feeling
Until it wasn’t.

Welcome @flaversham,
This is so nicely written... we enjoyed it
Good Luck 🍀

I'm excited to

Welcome @ecoinstant,
Wow Thanks... this was a pleasure to read.
Good Luck 👍

Haiku recipe

For a good haiku,
you not only need IQ,
but also EQ.

Welcome @likedeeler,
Yes you are right... we really enjoyed this fun
Haiku... Good Luck 👍

Down the tracks.

I follow the tracks.
Off to the side, I explore.
I will not get lost.

Welcome @gilmored,
What a nice image... I feel this Haiku poem down the
tracks. We enjoyed it.
Good Luck 👍

Thank you, the image is from Google.

I believe the path less traveled may be harder, but there is much more to see than living on the fast tracks.

I'm just a minnow.
If I mess up, forgive me;
still learning my way.

Welcome @chiaandgreen,
Nice to meet you... This was a pleasure to read.
Good Luck 🍀

Unconditional Love.

Love Always Comes First

I may not be rich
But my heart's full of gold
And that's all I need

Welcome @macro-d,
This Haiku touched our romantic heart... good
Good Luck 👍

thanks!

I checked your entry, and sorry this is not a 5,7,5 Haiku poem, the middle line is missing a syllable. Good poem though.

This was such a great poem, it truly could have won but you made one mistake. Better skill next time

Welcome @bertokandi

Thought I give sharing a haiku another shot, I have made a post out of this, but for ease:

In an infinite
Universe, your freckles are
All 3-d star maps

This is a very clever Haiku, very thoughtful... we really enjoyed it. I like Freckles too.
Good Luck 🍀

@moonleesteem,
Am I overlooking the syllable counter tool you promised? Or did you forget to put in the link? I'm looking forward to entering again this week but don't want to screw it up again 😙

Hi I plan to post later today... after my work 🤓

Here is the link so you don’t have to wait.
