Due to the high volatility of SBD we will now be rewarding the winners in STEEM.
We have to move with the times and the STEEM

The Walk

Beneath the pale orb,
ice breaks under cold footfalls.
Sidewalks crack like glass.

[moonleesteem]

Welcome @acolucky... very nice winter poem. I enjoyed it.
Good Luck

Love's Beautiful

It was dark inside
Suddenly love lit the night
Two birds in heaven

[moonleesteem]

Unnatural

Your breasts are lovely,
They are plump and soft to touch.
Who is the Doctor?

River of consciousness

Go bask in thy thoughts
Swim in your own consciousness
Only to find peace

[holothewise]

Haiku need not be
Five-seven-five anymore
They are breaking free

Hey cool contest :) most haiku written nowadays no longer follow this strict formatting though. Modern haiku are freestyle! Just a thought ;)

[moonleesteem]

Welcome, @holothewise great freestyle poem, I liked it.
I like it too that’s there are many forms of Haikus, pick what style suits you... they are all fun to write.
Good Luck

Drugs are for the fools,
You really want to be cool?
My friend, go to school.

Hi @moonleesteem. I wrote this poem two weeks ago and I am entering it into your contest.

It reminds me of Christmas time and the lights. By the way happy holidays

A Mother’s Love

She kissed her son's cheek
And the whole room had lit up
With love and... bright Stars

[moonleesteem]

Welcome, @mayliberty
A mothers love is very spiritual... super images, I enjoyed it.

The twin of my void,
Even imagination,
Can't decipher them

Winters Eve

Swirling snowflakes fall
Dance to winters symphony
Then drift into night

Taken from a set of four I wrote earlier in the year for each of the seasons
