1 STEEMOur lovely and generous sponsor @geke, Senior Editor of Poetry Workshop at Writer's Block, has now taken a break, we thank her for all of her support for our community and for making Haikus Great Again.
We have some great news though. We have found a second sponsor to take over and she is the lovely and kind @soldier, she supports good projects, wants to strengthen our community and give back to our poets. We are grateful for her contribution and commitment to us.
This contest is now Sponsored by... @soldier and @moonleesteem...

The Dream Catcher
Goodnight, little one
Let your dreams take you away,
Whilst I chase my own.
Hello sir @moonleesteem! Here is the link for the original post. Cheers! 🍻
Welcome, @lyxng... The Dream Catcher, what a great title, I really liked this poem, so artistic good.
Good Luck 🍀
Thank you sir! I'm glad you liked it 😀
Beyond the sun
I dare not venture
Further than the setting sun
Where darkness resides
This haiku can be taken both literally and figuratively. I took the photo yesterday while I was waiting for my daughter. Just down that road lives a lady I know who has become involved, through naivete, in dark things. I try to avoid her as she gives me a bad feeling. Also, I know from experience how dangerous the dark side can be.
he savors the nectars touch,
lost in emptiness.
This haiku is about contemplating the emptiness of your soul, your life.., or your soon to be empty glass -- however you want to take it... It all depends on your state of mind. CHEERS!

Welcome, @onetree... to find the dark side, is very interesting but dangerous at the same time.

On Old Pets and Bleak Dreams
Black cat on the bed
gone gray. My head rests there too;
more gray than the cat.
Welcome @acolucky.. This is very funny and good, I like cats 🐈.

The Rainbow
Curving up, then down,
New beginning after storm,
I think they’re magic.
