[HAIKU CONTEST] And the Winner is...
<html>
<p>First of all I want to thank everyone that participated. I was surprised by the amount of Haiku's submitted, but maybe even more surprised by the high quality, which made it extremely hard to settle on a winner. Let's begin with some of my favorites, the runner ups if you will. Each runner up will be rewarded 1 Steem Dollar.</p>
<p><img src="https://s16.postimg.io/4wq84mip1/japan.jpg" width="800" height="485"/></p>
<h3>First some nearly perfect traditional style Haiku's</h3>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/@isteemit">@isteemit</a><br>
<em>Deserted land: dry<br>
trees without leaves face the sky,<br>
In clouds, sun disguise.<br>
</em><br>
<a href="https://steemit.com/@xanoxt">@xanoxt</a><br>
<em>Endless road stretches<br>
It runs towards horizon<br>
Sun beats down on me<br>
<br>
</em><a href="https://steemit.com/@cathi-xx">@cathi-xx</a><br>
<em>Impossible shine<br>
Coal black fur reflecting blue<br>
Each strand a rainbow</em></p>
<h3>This one was oh so close to being the winner</h3>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/@libertarianarts">@libertarianarts</a><br>
<em>Avocado leaf<br>
Droops downward delaying the<br>
Inevitable</em></p>
<h3>This one manages to frame a moment and put you right in the middle of it</h3>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/@matthewtiii">@matthewtiii</a><br>
<em>Girls dressed in school clothes<br>
Shivering cold morning dew<br>
Shoes are on wrong feet</em></p>
<h3>And some managed to capture the worst aspects of human condition</h3>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/@inphiknit">@inphiknit</a><br>
<em>War, newborn creature<br>
Peace weaning the hungry child,<br>
Modifying self</em></p>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/@pollux.one">@pollux.one</a><br>
<em>Summer of warfare<br>
Pointing out the differences!<br>
So much uselessness.</em></p>
<h3>On a lighter note, this one produced the greatest laughter (in a good sense)</h3>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/@papa-pepper">@papa-pepper</a><br>
<em>Poetic pasta<br>
Linguistic as linguini<br>
No-nonsense noodles</em></p>
<h3>And then we had a few ambiguous and more philosophical Haiku's</h3>
<p><a href="https://steemit.com/@greatdabu">@greatdabu</a><br>
<em>these thoughts we're thinking<br>
exist in some dimension<br>
real as rocks and trees</em></p>
<h2>But I finally decided on this one by <a href="https://steemit.com/@prufarchy">@prufarchy</a></h2>
<p><em>There is mystery<br>
in the questions and answers<br>
that we never ask</em></p>
<h2>Congratulations to <a href="https://steemit.com/@prufarchy">@prufarchy </a>then! "Clear Light" by Alan Spence will soon reach your mailbox!</h2>

@xanoxt · 
Oooh, that was a really cool contest. Wrote that one on the napkins in the roadside cafe, [after a day on the road](https://steemit.com/travel/@xanoxt/hit-the-road-jack-or-how-im-hitchkiing-between-tunka-valley-and-ulan-ude-lots-of-photos), that seemed to be endless. Oh, and there was a whole sleepless night ahead of me, so the contest helped me stay well. :-)

And @papa-pepper's haiku is hilarious! :-D

Thanks everyone, I had a pleasure of reading some cool haiku, because of this contest. Cheers, and congrats to the winner!
