Say It Plainly Challenge Winners
A pattern showed up pretty quickly reading this shortlist: these poems don’t circle what they’re about. They just say it. That makes for some tough, raw reads. Miscarriage, infidelity, chronic pain, money, addiction, fear for someone you love. Not much is softened or dressed up. By the end, I felt like I needed a cigarette, and I don’t even smoke.

We give our heart to people, we handle the tensions, and they step on our heart. Splat! Lol. I'm sorry, I know that's now what you meant here but it's the first thing that came to mind. Loved your Haiku!
I really like how the peace is splattered by the last line. Excellent
Powerful, comical and sad. Love it, lass!
That end-line really is dramatic and I'm here for it
Don't usually like haiku much... too short... but I liked this one. Lovely and can have different meanings 💙 Anneliese
So perfect and then splat! Loved this! Sort of funny and sad at the same time.
Brilliantly done Kayleigh!
