Judging

I and Hive account@verbal-d have judged all the entries based on originality, creativity, and clever-wittiness

Announcing The Winners!

Honourable Mention # 1:

@Badluckmiles

"Inner Peace"

Search for inner peace,
In cracks between the flagstones,
Find nothing but weeds.

Everyone should seek their inner peace, though it may not be so easy to find. We enjoyed this very spiritual Haiku... Congrats

Honourable Mention # 2:

@Sgt-dan

"Loyalty"

Loyalty is good.
Is sometimes misunderstood,
Stick around one should.

If we don’t have loyalty, the bridge is easily burned. Nice poem with a great message. Congrats

Proud

Strong Virginia Oak
Punished by the elements
Add another ring.

Trees are such a testament to the force of Mother Nature and her beauty. You did it justice with this haiku... Congrats.

Wishes

Rain drops cling to her
skin so tender. All I want,
is to be the rain

This a very spiritual Haiku intertwined with the water element and human emotions.
We enjoyed this one alot... Congrats.

This week we had the most amount of entries and there were so many high quality haiku poems, that I had to pick Two Winners to share the 1st place position.

His Love

The sun lights the day
then sets. But he, lights my world
always......he sets not.

This is a very spiritual and poetic poem that really shows your reverence and writing skills. We enjoyed it. Congrats.

Freestyling

Fish, dolphin and whale
freestyling in our ocean
we rise within steem.

The best way to ride the waves is by freestyling and becoming one with the waters. Great poem and Steem on! 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 with Hive account@verbal-d. Everyone gave their best and they were all great poems.

There were two poets, Hive account@gamsam and Hive account@diebitch, who gave very good haikus but they had too many syllables which prevented them from winning.

I will be posting the next contest "Week 12" 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 12. Best of luck to you all, and thanks again in making Haikus Great Again.

This contest is now sponsored by Hive account@verbal-d and the lovely and kind Hive account@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.

Would you also like to support this contest as a sponsor so that the winning prizes can be more rewarding for our participants? Please contact Hive account@moonleesteem on steemit.chat or reach me in the comments section below for more info.

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