Haiku is painful
Limits my verbosity
Oh the agony
A painful lesson
Brevity, the soul of wit
Fewer words say more
Waiting for some warmth
Winter is lasting too long
Cats are very bored
Waiting for springtime,
Objecting to cold and wet,
They create mischief.
First-place prize winner!
Well-known wintertime feelings.
Ten Steem will be sent.
First post on Steemit
Wasn't extremely clever
Not bad for a start
Congratulations!
Welcome to the Steem blockchain,
Blog participant!
whale love downvoted
now only whale hate remains
Steemit is done for.
Discouraging facts,
But minnow support welcomed.
Your entry: noted.
The tone was struck low
should not ruin the contest
with whale politics
The haiku is fab
and engagement still better
please replace my first
Bah, pessimism.
Here is a 5-Steem reward.
Thanks for joining in!
Thank you very much, glad to join in.
Hair is quite frazzled
Perpetual homeschooling
Mom is on the edge

Cathartic game night squabbles,
Magic and Munchkin.
Dash went to the moon.
Etherium rising now.
Steem is next in line!
Invest/speculate,
Or just create more content.

Yours is much better than mine; I love it! :-)

I apologize.
No insult was intended.
Caption was cryptic.
Caption was crystal.
Apology accepted.
Haiku all the world.
Unsplash was unknown,
Macro generator source?
Future mistakes dodged.
Macro generator source?
Fancy tech speak in Haiku.
Makes me feel very lost.
An image macro:
Shareable image with text
Proper name for "meme"
Nesting has limit.
I understand now thankyou.
Harmony restored.
Original art?
Or Google Image result?
The latter, cheating.
I don't understand. I composed the words and put them on an image I found on unsplashed.com. Why is that cheating? Look, don't worry about the competition, I just thought it was fun and wanted to support it. I didn't expect to be called a cheat.
Clarification:
Was unsure whether your work,
Or a copy/paste.
Your Haiku was cool
Picture was appropriate
Grooviness remains
I rather suspect
No insult was intended
Just quirky humor
Runner-up haiku.
Five Steem will be sent shortly.
Thank you for posting!
Posting hiatus,
On strike due to flag abuse.
