We received some strong competition for Southside Daily’s first annual Holiday Haiku Contest. Congrats to our first-, second- and third-place entries, as chosen by our staff.
They receive a prize. You receive their prose this Christmas Eve. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas from Southside Daily!

Haven’t quite frozen
Yet I’ve heard ‘tis the Season-
Hot cocoa and chill

On Christmas morning
With all the family here
The best gift of all

Hark the call to all-
Tis love, peace and hope we share.
