Breaking News, this contest is now 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.

Also, I just found out today that both of them have their birthday, so Happy Birthday to you both, enjoy your day. Happy New Years to everyone else.


Due to the high volatility of SBD we will now be rewarding the winners in STEEM.
We have to move with the times and the STEEM


Would you like to support this contest as a sponsor so that the winning prizes can be more rewarding?

Thank you all again and I'll see you in the next post.

that's a great photo you snagged for this, @steemitgraven29. I love Oaks when their limbs spread out like that. Great Haiku to represent it.
