VDux Haiku Contest Winners!

Winner Alert!
It's time again to announce the winners of the most recent @vdux haiku contest!
Thank you to all who entered:
@phoenixwren, @liverussian, @acousticsteveo, @herbertholmes, @kaelci, @mineopoly, @dizzyjay, @rlt47, @pocketmouse, @emdesan, @markeverlasting, @shawnsporter, @impending.doom, @operahoser, @jadams2k18, @tygertyger, @eaglespirit, @tomset, @millennialnow, @preparedwombat, @apeximomen
And the two who didn't qualify:
And @moneyinfant for circulating that bom-diggit-ee contest newsletter.
I received 26 entries from 21 participants. That means 96% of entries will not win. Ugh! This is the worst part of running a contest.
If I had more SBDs to give, I'd offer more prizes. Would you please donate some SBDs so I can add another contest prize? Transfer SBDs to me, @vdux, and include the memo "for haiku contest" so I know it's for the contest, and not just because you love giving me SBDs. I'll credit your contribution every time I post a new contest and create one more prize in your honor.

And now, without further ado --
The Runner-Up Is: @markeverlasting
Love, heal and give life
Yet weeds are misunderstood
God makes no mistakes
The Winner Is: @kaelci
Weeds; gardener's bane
The humble dandelion
Merely nature's gift
Thank you to all who entered! It was honestly a tie for winner, runner-up, and a bunch of entries that just missed.
YOU. ROCK.

It was a really fun and simple contest. Happy to participate.
Thanks! Your haiku was great!
@vdux - Thanks for hosting a successful contest, once again!
Congratulations to the winners, and many strong entries!
Yea and many that went in totally different direction than I expected. Thanks for entering again!
@vdux - You're welcome! I think it was a refreshing approach and well done to them!
Oh, wow! Thank you! :D That was unexpected, there were so many wonderful haikus <3 I especially loved @tygertyger's entry.
If you could resteem - https://steemit.com/fiction/@kaelci/skyswept-chapter-five - I would be so very grateful; it's a steemit story I'm writing, and maybe someone new will discover it and enjoy the read :D
Cool, thank you for your entry! @tygertyger had a great one, for sure, plus picture too. Having to pick winners is the worst part of this thing for me. Always a few top entries.
Just popped my head into Steemit for a minute to reply to the comments. I'll resteem now and post your shout-out within a day or so.

Thank you once again.
Done! Busy.org is part of Steemit or separate? How are they related?
it's part of steemit i think, just a different app.
I mean I can do everything i do on steemit, can check all of my account information.
it's kinda like dlive dtube steemd, it's all part of the blockchain platform.
