Judging


1... I and @Verbal-D will be judging the entries based on originality, creativity, and clever-wittiness

2... Here is an original example Haiku Poem written by me, @moonleesteem

Bald Head

He still had his smile
Although he was losing his
Hairs... to find wisdom

3... Here is an original example Haiku Poem written by @verbal-d

One Last Puff

Smoking in his bed
His tired eyes gave away
Dreams in bed ablaze...

              Here's my entry. Let's make haiku great again!

              With Love


              with love, we inspired;
              we chased dreams and we prospered.
              with love, we conquered.

                To the Children of Syria

                Pardon us, we failed
                We were mum, blind, and naive
                Don't lose hope, it'll end

                I just watched a heartbreaking video of Syrian children pleading for help from the governments. I felt guilty myself that I can't do anything to help them. Although many of us have no voice, we can help spread awareness by letting other people know of their present situation and and by praying that the war will be over soon so they may experience the life that children like them deserves.

                      @moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #32. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.

                      The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.

                      If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.

                      P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
