STEEMIT HAIKU CONTEST Make Haikus Great Again!

In Japanese Style...
Created by Moonlee & Dedicated To All Haiku Fans...
Judging
I have judged all the entries based on originality, creativity, and clever-wittiness
This week of my contest was a very successful week with lots of entries, so I want to thank all the participants and supporters of our Steemit community for making Haikus Great Again. If this keeps on continuing in success then we will certainly achieve our mission.
Announcing The Winners!

@Girlbeforemirror's
Petrified Peat.
Dense sorrow stagnates 🌑☁
Thick soupy sludge swirls within🌊🍲
Forged gems from fears fire.🌋💎
You have quite a poetic style of writing. Sometimes beauty can come from a dark place. Congrats
2nd Place:
3 SBD
@Biibii's
My Panacea
I can't live without
A melody or a tune --
Music feeds my soul.
Music definitely speaks to the spirit and soul, and this was a high note poem. Congrats
1st Place:
5 SBD
@Verbal-D's
One Last Puff
Smoking in his bed
His tired eyes gave away
Dreams in bed ablaze...
The message in this poem is a powerful reminder that we must be careful of the dangers of what we do, especially before we fall asleep. That also includes staying awake at the wheel when driving for long hours. Really strong images. 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. Everyone gave their best and they were all great poems, however, some of you could have won, but you unfortunately didn't have the correct amount of syllables. I will be posting the next contest "Week 8" 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 8. Best of luck to you all, and thanks again in making Haikus Great Again.
This contest is now sponsored by the amazing and generous @geke, Senior Editor of Poetry Workshop at Writer's Block, which now increases the prize rewards. PS: She will not be responsible for judging the entries, only the sponsoring.

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