____________________________

<h3>Winner One: @seahawksfan</h3>

<h3> Libertarian</h3>

<h4>Wandering through the web of useless information, he heard a voice. Tired of noise, open to growth, the voice is appealing. “Join this online community that I discovered”. Reluctantly he joins, only to discover a place of wonderment. His libertarian viewpoint is suddenly not shunned, but it is considered mainstream.</h4>

<h3> Winner Two : @callme-pep</h3>

<h3> Growth </h3>

<h4>I used to feel safe in her hands, but I’m alone now. Its dark and cold, I get hungry sometimes. She said I would see the sun again, if I am strong. I can hear her voice in the darkness singing “grow little seed, grow.”</h4>

<h3> Winner Three:  @moneybags</h3>

<h3> The Hunger</h3>

<h4>Sweaty, salty, residue trailed her every move. But she knew she must keep going, she must eat. Her hunger was growing; her next meal within eyeshot, but progress was slow. She strained under her heavy load, which grew just as quickly as she had. Such is life, as a snail..</h4>

<h3> Winner Four: @neiraurdaneta</h3>

<h3> Day By Day</h3>

<h4>You grow like the seed of a rose.
You grow like a dream of hope.
You grow day by day in my belly
My fears of being what I always wanted to be grow too
Of being a mother and an example for you… You grow day by day</h4>

<h3> Winner Five: @asimplewriter</h3>

<h3>The Times They Are A' Changin' </h3>

<h4>Thing have changed so much. The growth is unmistakable. Once this place was lost in a blanket of stone and metal. Now nature has forced itself back onto it's rightful throne. Flowers have grown through pavement, skyscrapers replaced by trees just as tall. This is the inevitable and irreversible future.</h4>
