Enter My Haiku Contest!!!

If I had more time, I'd enter all the wonderful contests Steemit has to offer. Instead, I started my own!

If you have 30 seconds to spare and you can write 17 syllables, you can win 2 SBD, author rewards, and some free publicity.

Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner.

Contest Instructions

Write a haiku about anything. Use previous haikus, if you have any!

This must be a one-stanza, traditional 5-7-5 haiku like the ones described here: http://www.kidzone.ws/poetry/haiku.htm . Here’s an example:

Vdux writes haikus
Some are good and some are bad
Just like football teams

You may submit multiple haikus, but you need to make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry.

** For future contests, I'm putting together a list of themes. Suggest one by replying here: Need Your Suggestion for Contest Theme! **

How to Participate

1. Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, May 6, 2018.
2. Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, May 6, 2018.

That's it! But...

You should also resteem this post to increase the winner's prize and give yourself some free exposure! You can participate without resteeming -- I don't give preference -- but if you do resteem, it only helps you.

Also, post your entry on your own blog! Mention @vdux and I'll give you an upvote and resteem your post.

Awards

Winner gets:

• 2 SBD
• Half of this post's author awards
• One free "shout-out" for winning
• One free resteem from me for any of the winner's posts. (You choose the post. There's no time limit but I reserve the right to refuse resteem any post I consider offensive or indecent -- I'll simply ask you for a different, non-offensive post.)

One runner-up gets:

• One free "shout-out" for winning
• One free resteem from me for any of the winner's posts. (You choose the post. There's no time limit but I reserve the right to refuse to resteem any post I consider offensive or indecent -- I'll simply ask you for a different, non-offensive post.)

How I Will Select the Winner

Within 2 days after the deadline, I will read all entries and choose a winner and runner-up. While I'll take upvotes into consideration, my selection will reflect my personal preference based on the entries you submit.

Feel free to reuse a haiku from the past and write as many as you want!

PS thank you to everybody who've written haikus for my previous contests:
