One hundred dollars
in the bank is not enough
to finance my dreams

Do you want the truth?
One hundred passport stamps still
won’t satisfy me.

Hundred vintage cars but

One hundred watts light
up a room or an office
Sunlight feels better.

Each day I travel
100 miles for my job.
My so-called green life.

Thank you everyone for sharing your “one hundred” haiku!
They are really very awesome. Some are funny, some poignant and some ironic. So it was a tough choice!
But we have our winner. Congratulations to D. Gale for his celibacy haiku! We will contact you soon so that we can send you your haiku prize.
