Read their haikus here.
I loved them all. If I had more SBDs to give, I'd offer more prizes. Speaking of which, read my request for donations on VDux's Haiku Contest Has Closed.

Alas, there must be a winner and a runner-up. Meaning, 90% of entrants will not win.
If you didn’t win, please please please resubmit to the next contest, which I'll post soon. You can use the same one you wrote this time -- that’s a free entry! And you can also write another haiku and submit both -- double your chances of winning.
For those who didn’t follow the rules or submitted after the deadline, I couldn’t accept your entries. My apologies. Please try again for my next contest!
And 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.
Some acknowledgements before I announce the winners:
@moneyinfant for listing me in the contests newsletter. I advise anybody interested in steemit contests follow @moneyinfant.
@mermaidvampire for her positivity and advice. Another great account to follow.
@firepower. His contests piqued my interest in Steemit contests and made me see how short-form content can enrich the quality of Steemit's platform.
Also, to the many, many people who run Steemit contests. I know you have many to choose from, including other haiku contests. Thank you for participating in mine!
And now, without further ado...
Your winner: @millennialnow
The age old question
Is chili a soup or stew?
Perhaps it’s neither
(I love chili. Coincidentally made some tonight for dinner. And until this haiku, I had never pondered such an existential question. )
Your runner-up: @yahialababidi
An inner embrace,
when you need reassurance—
some warmth in your life.
To all who participated but didn't win:
YOU. ROCK.

Remember you can submit as many haikus as you want! Try again with the one you submitted for this one — you lose nothing and you might win!
Congratulations to the winners.
Wow! That is awesome! Congratulations @millenialnow You had a very cool entry to the contest.

How does one get to be an aphorist?
Congratulations WINNERS!! Thank you @vdux for hosting another fun contest! ;)

You will see an obvious "SWARM" that I was mentioning in my other blog post- Fortunately that contest is not judged by upvotes either... You cannot miss it... multiple 'followers' showed up just to upvote that one guy... have a good one!
I see! Shame. I read your story. A shady, untrustworthy man gets drunk and gives a woman all his gold because she promises to "lay down" with him.
When I was younger, we used to call that a trip to Las Vegas.
LOL! You're too funny! :0
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all who entered - I enjoyed reading them all. ;-)

Congratulation to the winner and @vdux your contest superb.
Thank you for entering!
Congrats to the winner!
I submit that chili is chili... nothing else. If it's still soupy, it's not done.
Not done yet?
Wow! That's awesome! Thank you very much so selecting my humble entry about the philosophical nature of nature. I may need to celebrate this victory by making some chili of my own.
Rock on!
