Contest – CLOSED – Scary
Sharing a Post
Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?
Actually, this is a voting security feature. Only club members can read posts submitted into a contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
Gems Stories are public: On the other hand the Gem stories are different, since there is no voting on Gems. During a Gem event, your friends and fans can come on and read without a SignIn. This is one of the great advantages of the Gem events.

This is lovely Thompson. I was only saying yesterday how much I long to go to the beach. Your words minded me of standing barefoot in sand, staring out at the horizon with the sea breeze in my face. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Carrie. It’s an honour.
I feel the cool wind, taste the salt on my lips, hear the sea, are we really alone? I really enjoyed the calm in this Haiku.
Thanks a great deal.
A powerful haiku, Thompson. When a lone person sees others by the seaside (like the people in the distance in the picture), enjoying themselves as a family, or in groups — a solitary person can feel ‘really’ alone. That is surely the time when a writer is in their element. The picture paints this, yet your haiku paints this loneliness and associated emotions, so well.

Thank you so much Mr. Carter!
When a haiku can make you feel the soft texture of the sand and smell the salt of the sea, that’s when you know that it is doing justice to the history of this special art form. An amazingly-done job!
Thank you Katy. It’s an honour.
