Announcing the VDux Haiku Contest Winners!

First, thank you to all who entered:

@gaby-crb, @viking-ventures, @theironfelix, @jurich60, @agmoore, @poyim, @acousticsteveo, @olivia08, @zephalexia, @calluna, @blueeyes8960, @felixgarciap, @tristancarax, @mfunbee, @jackofcrows

And @snowyknight whose haiku didn't match the contest theme.

Another great round. Tough to pick winners but I must!

If you didn’t win, please please please resubmit to the next contest, which I just posted here: VDux Haiku Contest.

Second, the monarch in the picture was Haile Selassie, King of Ethiopia in the early 20th Century (later self-proclaimed emperor). @agmoore knew and will get .005 SBDs reward!

Also, if you posted your entry on your blog and mentioned me, but I didn’t give you your upvote and resteem, please nag me, it was just an oversight.

And now, without further ado...

life owned by others
you are not you, you are theirs

Cheers @calluna! What post you’d like me to resteem?

Winner: @gaby-crb

Watch from a distance
They smile and wave politely
Dreaming of a crown

@gaby-crb, I loved the perspective in this haiku. I assume it's the prince and princesses but I also imagine a banquet of conniving or jealous dignitaries. I'll send you 1.5 SBD within the next 5 minutes. Please reply to any of my posts to let me know what of your posts you’d like me to resteem.

Honorable mentions go to @olivia08 for rhyming, @acousticsteveo for what's in a name, @mfunbee for creativity, and @agmoore for inviting an old friend.

Thank you to all who entered!

Thank you for running a most delightful contest. Congratulations to the winners, and thank you for my bonus. I sort of had an advantage: I was a social studies teacher :)

Congratulations to the winner!

i have been having a hard time recently, and missed this, thank you, very much so <3 not posting anything to get resteemed, but my next contest would be greatly appreciated

i did actually write you a 10+ part haiku about Katherine Howard, the fifth wife of henry 8th but figured it was better redirecting into something more fitting for the length, but here is one little bit as a taster, i was going to leave it as a comment but yeah... shit

she had been his first
he gave her up for his king
his sweet little fool

You did? Oh I must have missed that...when did you post?
