If you’re new here at little infinite, welcome! Each month we host a poetry contest to celebrate those who write, inspire creativity, and to award as many poets as possible out there!
We switched it up with September’s Contest. This contest was judged by little infinite‘s panel of 5 judges in the poetry and publishing industry. The top 10 finalists poems were opened up to public voting.
These haikus blew the panel away! We have the most talented community and are always trying to discover new writers, just like you. Congratulations to our winners and the top 10 finalists! See the winning haikus below.
First Place – Briana Robinson, @barlenepoetry
Second Place – Alyssa Jensen, @alygogally
Third Place – Michaela Mangrum, @Mangrum.michaela

The doves perch on the gallows
There is peace in death

dusk on summer trees
pellucid wing shivering

Such tranquility,
the silence of growing things,
beautiful and still.

flour milk an egg
a hummed song and a swift stir
nostalgia feeds you

The man insulted my brain
I am capable
