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

Members of, A company, The Highlanders, 4th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland, (4 SCOTS) on a Patrol from Patrol Base Attal in Afghanistan.jpeg

Welcome @hungry-nomad,
We enjoyed it... they are our Guardian.
Good Luck 🍀

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

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 🍀
