Help pick our haiku finalists!

This post was originally shared in our email newsletter on November 15, 2023.

Wow!

Earlier this month, we asked our community for haikus celebrating under-appreciated people in their lives. The response in both quality and quantity (over 100!) was astounding.

Keapers shared appreciation for their parents, their children, their siblings, their best friends, teachers, caregivers, artists, community leaders and more. 

Our jury had an incredibly difficult time narrowing over a hundred submissions to twelve incredible finalists. We will share the full list of submissions later this month. And for those of you who submitted, we’ll be in touch in the next couple weeks about sending appreciation nominees their complimentary Scent-to-Home. 

In the meantime, we need everyone’s help to pick five finalists who will send a larger prize to their nominee—as well as a small donation to the nonprofit they picked. 

These appreciations embody such a wide array of beautiful, inspiring sentiments. Be forewarned that you are likely to shed a tear or two (but the more enjoyable kind, when you are faced with grace and sublime)!

Help us celebrate these wonderful appreciations by picking your favorite haiku here!

Voting closes on Saturday, November 18 at 11.59pm EST.

Humbled and inspired,

— Harry from Keap, Steward-Owner

We left social media in 2021 because we found its current mechanics didn’t align with our purpose to facilitate connection to the natural world, our loved ones, and our own spirits. Since then, our newsletter has become a vibrant place for healthy conversation around topics ranging from alternative business ownership models to happy hour cocktail recipes.
