Announcing The Winners!

Honourable Mention:

@darthnava

"We"

Why, oh, why can we,
Be so blind to see that the
Ones we hurt are we.

I really liked your poem. It has a deep message that we should remember. Congrats

3rd Place:

1 STEEM
@Glyphzero's

Say No To Drugs

Drugs are for the fools,
You really want to be cool?
My friend, go to school

This has a very good message, which will never get old. Too many people abuse drugs to their death. Thanks for the poem. Congrats.

2nd Place:

3 STEEM
@Holothewise's

Modern Haikus Are Freestyle

Haiku need not be
Five-seven-five anymore
They are breaking free

This was a great freestyle poem, which shows you think outside the box.
There are many forms of Haikus and they are all fun to write. Congrats.

1st Place:

5 STEEM
@Mayliberty's

A Mother’s Love

She kissed her son's cheek
And the whole room had lit up
With love and... bright Stars.

A mothers love is very spiritual... super images and poetically written. I enjoyed it a lot. 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 me 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 10” 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 10. Best of luck to you all, and thanks again in making Haikus Great Again.

This contest is now sponsored by the lovely and kind @soldier, she supports good projects, wants to strengthen our community and give back to our poets. We are grateful for her contribution and commitment to us.
