I ran a competition to find the best finance haiku last year and was overwhelmed by the response.

From over 50 submissions last year our winner was this beauty from Kevin:

Bull slips on black ice—

Frantic dance of hope and fear

Fortune rolls her dice

I give you this haiku as my 2025 offering:

The majestic Brumby

Far from the stampeding herd

Fearing coming cold

Think you can do better?!? (I really hope so!) I am offering a free 6 month paid subscription to the winner. You have two weeks - you can reply directly to this post or in the comments.

If you have never written a haiku they are a poem of three lines with 5 syllables in first line followed by 7 and then 5 again. It should reference nature in some way. Good luck!
