Time to announce the winner of my most recent Haiku Contest.

First, thank you to all who entered:

@bananamemos, @celsius100, @poyim, @calluna, @emergehealthier, @onefatindian, @tristancarax, @felixgarciap, @mayliberty, @preparedwombat, @four20, @amayphin, @shawnsporter, @mother2chicks, @jackofcrows, @mineopoly, @trumanity, @creatr, @tygertyger

Hey, @viking-ventures where you at?

Extra kudos: @liverussian for being awesome and spreading joy, @mermaidvampire for being spectacular and spreading joy, @firepower being spectacular and keeping me in the loop. PS thank you to @calluna, @creatr, @mayliberty, @felixgarciap for tagging others in their posts. You are all beautiful.

@felixgarciap and @four20 get the Rockstar Award for contributing for the next contest's prize pool. You will make some haiku writers very, very happy.

Time to pick the winner.

Out of 32 haikus, I can only pick ONE winner. 97% of entries cannot win.

If you didn’t win, follow me and check out my blog tomorrow for the next contest! I expect your haiku -- persistence pays! Most winners entered a few contests before they won.

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...

Candy was her name
I knew her then she was gone
Melted in my mouth

He always brought me
Dark chocolate... now he’s gone
Sweet memories stay

Honorable mention to @celsius for some naughty double entendres, though I can't figure out the hidden meaning in this one:

Candy at the fair
Varieties are many
Picking is unfair

Thank you to all who entered!
