Honourable Mention # 2:
"Cold Of Death"
The winds came whistling,
biting across my bare back
with stings of cruel cold...

This was a really frigid and elemental entry that gives poetic frostbite...... Congrats
3rd Place:
2 STEEM”Strong”
Like the mountain that rises,
strong and powerful.
This was a strong and immovable entry, such as mountains are and spirits as well... Congrats.
2nd Place:
3 STEEM”Too Late”

The fallen leaves of past years
What love can they hold
We really enjoyed this poetic and deeply reflective entry, it is reminiscent and wise.......Congrats.
There were so many great entries that we had to pick two first place winners. Please enjoy their winning Haiku poems below.
1st Place:
3 STEEM”Untitled”

Counting syllables ain't one
Haiku police, Run!
This was a very funny Haiku, with a good sense of lighthearted humor and image. You certainly know how to write winning Haikus!.... Congrats.
1st Place:
3 STEEM”The Unnamed”
For the unused little clothes --
And the tiny grave.
This was a touching, sad and really well written poem that evokes true human emotion and compassion... 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 us to judge. We had a lot of fun reading them all and deciding the winners. Everyone gave their best effort and they were all great poems, however please make sure that you check your syllables and words before you enter and submit your entry. There were some great entries that would have won but they were not a Haiku. Don’t worry, I will be introducing in the next post the tool which I use to count syllables anc correct my own Haikus. Thanks again.
I will be posting the next contest "Week 15” 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 15. Best of luck to you all, and thanks again in making Haikus Great Again.
