Hi @artz
Thanks for the support... nice image 😎
We appreciate it.
Here's my entry, enjoy :
and the link to my post
Welcome @cryptocatz,
Moving out is very stressful too... this was a pleasure to read, we like it
Good Luck 👍
A Gif(t) For You - A Hungry Haiku
Two elderly folks
and one giant burrito.
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
Welcome @hungry-nomad,
We enjoyed it... they are our Guardian.
Good Luck 🍀
thank you :)
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
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 👍
Enemies of Truth
Source
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
have found the haiku contest
and @moonleesteem too.
Welcome @ecoinstant,
Wow Thanks... this was a pleasure to read.
Good Luck 👍
