First of all I want to thank everyone that participated. I was surprised by the amount of Haiku's submitted, but maybe even more surprised by the high quality, which made it extremely hard to settle on a winner. Let's begin with some of my favorites, the runner ups if you will. Each runner up will be rewarded 1 Steem Dollar.
First some nearly perfect traditional style Haiku's
@isteemit
Deserted land: dry
trees without leaves face the sky,
In clouds, sun disguise.
@xanoxt
Endless road stretches
It runs towards horizon
Sun beats down on me
@cathi-xx
Impossible shine
Coal black fur reflecting blue
Each strand a rainbow
This one was oh so close to being the winner
@libertarianarts
Avocado leaf
Droops downward delaying the
Inevitable
This one manages to frame a moment and put you right in the middle of it
@matthewtiii
Girls dressed in school clothes
Shivering cold morning dew
Shoes are on wrong feet
And some managed to capture the worst aspects of human condition
@inphiknit
War, newborn creature
Peace weaning the hungry child,
Modifying self
@pollux.one
Summer of warfare
Pointing out the differences!
So much uselessness.
On a lighter note, this one produced the greatest laughter (in a good sense)
@papa-pepper
Poetic pasta
Linguistic as linguini
No-nonsense noodles
And then we had a few ambiguous and more philosophical Haiku's
@greatdabu
these thoughts we're thinking
exist in some dimension
real as rocks and trees
But I finally decided on this one by @prufarchy
There is mystery
in the questions and answers
that we never ask
Congratulations to @prufarchy then! "Clear Light" by Alan Spence will soon reach your mailbox!
These modern haikus are interesting and deep.

Oooh, that was a really cool contest. Wrote that one on the napkins in the roadside cafe, after a day on the road, that seemed to be endless. Oh, and there was a whole sleepless night ahead of me, so the contest helped me stay well. :-)
And @papa-pepper's haiku is hilarious! :-D
Thanks everyone, I had a pleasure of reading some cool haiku, because of this contest. Cheers, and congrats to the winner!
