Dear all,

Lots of thanks to the poets for your amazing submissions and to the voters for your participation!  I think this contest really brought some poetic moments into our universe(s)

@RJX, your first poem and it nearly made it to top 3! Wow!

Congratulations to the winners!

The Rewards

The winners should have their rewards already (except Hilux74 and BitcoinFX, please send me your FZ addresses). The pot was 500 FZ + 200 FZ (donations). I've distributed the 200 FZ as follows: 70% of it to the first 10 ranks (14 FZ each), the rest for more winners. The top 10 have become actually top 13 due to winners with the same number of votes. I've decided to stock up the rewards with further 167 FZ, so that every contributor should have gotten at least 7 FZ.

So the total of 867 FZ is distributed as follows:

• 1: 214 FZ
• 2: 134 FZ
• 3: 89 FZ
• 4-10: 29 FZ
• all others: 7 FZ

WHAT IS A HAIKU? IN THIS CONTEST?

The Haiku is a traditional Japanese form of poetry, which consists of three lines with usually 5, 7 and 5 spoken syllables. In a Haiku the poets often try to find a new connection or opposition of two ideas or images. You will recognize this kind of approach also among many of the contest's contributions. BitcoinFX even explains some ideas behind his Haiku Enlighten FroZen.

The contest is not really strict about the rules for a Haiku, though. You will find some contributions among the votes which need quite a bit of phantasy to qualify them as a Haiku. But then: this contest is about creativity and fun.


ACCEPTED CONTRIBUTIONS

The rules I applied to be eligible for the contest were:

• the contribution has to contain the word "Frozen"
• it has to consist of three lines
• and it must have been submitted in time
• In a single case I took some editorial liberty and shortened a six-lined poem to three lines to fit, I hope you agree.

Applying these rules we are one contribution short of the answer to life the universe and everything and I think this could explain a lot.

I've prepared the Haikus as follows. I randomized their order by copying the Haikus randomly hither and thither until I was bored. Then I stripped some of the interpunctation as it was giving some Haikus an unfair optical advantage, thinking this should match the spirit of this spoken art form of poetry. I decided not to show the name of the author or the Frozen address (with one example as you will see ;-)) to encourage the jury to focus on the Haikus rather than on the sympathies for an author.

Lastly, of course I didn't take part in the contest myself and I won't vote.

A few contributions didn't qualify for the contest. Feel free to tip the authors anyway:

A good advice
perhaps it is best
to provide an example
that has been fine-tuned

Forest trees be frozen:
The six month sun cometh...
For all who read this, to this coin show devotion

A song text, I put 3 lines of it into the contest:
All these girls excited

Frozen so icy, so icy
Haters don't try to fight it
All yo friends invited
Frozen so icy, so icy

Fast , secure and rare
Frozencoin is here
Transactions are instant
Value is growing constant
If you want to spend
Or value to send
Without any institution
Frozencoin is the solution
Fast , secure and rare
Money around the globe
You can transfer
You can receive
And send for free
No more taxes
And no fee !

Missing the word Frozen:

An Aesopian paraphrase:
trenton81 who longed for Frozen, beholds with pain
The tempting snowflake were too high to gain;
Grieved in his heart he forced a careless smile,
And cried ,'Frozen is to high and hardly worth my while.'

Missing the word Frozen:
With great effort the sparrows fly
Faster and faster they will go
But the cold will stop them shy
