We had so many wonderful submissions that the judges had a hard time selecting only three laureates. The following haiku, which were all close contenders for top honors this year, deserve honorable mention in the 12 and under category. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your work with us, and we hope to see your work again next year!

Better known as moths.

The spider scurries
scared of being crushed but still
