It's time to share the results of one of our favorite contests! After reading countless amazing haikus, we've selected a winner and five runners-up! We chose perseverance as theme for the Third Annual LCP Haiku Contest because it we felt it was relatable to anyone living in these trying times.
We are proud announce "Saturation" by Donna Faulkner née Miller as the winner of the contest! You can read Donna’s winning poem in the winter edition of Loud Coffee Press which releases on January 28th, 2022.
In the meantime, check out the five runners-up below!
