Without further ado, here are the runners-up for the 2nd Annual 2020 Loud Coffee Press Haiku Contest. The theme of the contest was "sound or silence." Congratulations and thank you to all participants!
Silenced

can't tell anyone
about the voices inside
they control my tongue

a full orchestra of sex
he’s out on parole.

Wind and Wave

Wind finds its voice through
the leaves. Wave speaks by crashing
into shore again.

Ape stares in silence
At a thousand ink squiggles
On slices of tree

I'm betting cow farts
Create a soft, steamy breeze
Sweet grass-fed latte
