SPU Poetry Contest #4: Announcement (& Winners of #3)

Notice

Before we get to the contest, I, @poetrybyjeremy, wanted to say something. I have been enjoying reading the contest entries of the past contests. Unfortunately, this will be the last contest I will be hosting/judging for now, as in my real life I suddenly got much more busy and I need to take care of my mental-health. Spending too much time on Steemit is not helping my stress and anxiety levels, and knowing that I am prone to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I find that prevention is better than cure.

Don't worry, the SPU Contest will continue, and we have already found a new host. I will be working with this host so that next week, they can start hosting the contest without any unforeseen issues. Thank you for all your support and I hope that you keep participating!

Mix 'n Match

As steemit has been acting up, I was unable to retrieve prompts from poems, so for this week I decided to shift the format.

What you have to do is pick one theme and an image below as your prompts. Then, write a poem inspired by the image while incorporating the theme into your poem.

Themes:

1. Insects
2. Celebration
3. Witch Hunt

Images:
