Welcome to the Second Edition of the VDux Haiku Contest

My First Haiku Contest was so much fun, I’m doing it again. Thank you to all who entered:

@dizzyjay, @theunlimited, @acousticsteveo, @peacemaker, @robsteady, @dildil7401, @jacksonl, @puppetmaster1111, @lymmerik, @jadams2k18, @wplymouth, @crescendoofpeace, @kimberlylane, @geoffreydemars, @tygertyger

For this second contest, the rules are the same. Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner.

Contest Instructions

Write a haiku.

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
He likes to be creative
He hopes you do too

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

How to Participate

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

I plan to run this haiku contest regularly so if yours doesn't win, try again next time.

Shout out to @acousticsteveo for suggesting a topic for the next haiku contest! I plan to use his suggestion.

What topic did he suggest?

Well...I’ll leave you in suspense for now. You’ll have to sleuth my blog posts to find it. Or, better yet, follow @acousticsteveo and ask him if he’ll tell you before I do! At the very least, you can listen to his tunes.

Let the contest begin!
