Welcome Back to the VDUX Haiku Contest!!!
It's almost October 31, which means two things in some Spanish and English-speaking countries: Halloween and "Day of the Dead" aka Día de los Muertos.
That may have something to do with this week's haiku contest!
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 Halloween or Día de los Muertos!
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:
You may submit multiple haikus, but you need to make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry.
This theme comes from @viking-ventures, who's getting .005 SBDs from me just for the idea. If you have any suggestions, let me know!
How to Participate
- Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, November 2, 2018.
- Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, November 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.
Get a bonus point for each person you tag in your contest entry. More players, more prizes, more fun!
Awards
Winner gets:
- 1.5 SBD
- One free resteem from me for any post. (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 resteem from me for any post. (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!
Also, give congrats to all who've participated in my previous contests:

You are my hero! "Killer" lunch box!
Hero huh? Did you see my link to my lunchbox collection post? No one looked. I upvoted my post (which was worth $0) but atleast I didn't feel so bad. I was beginning to think I didn't belong here. But then I finally started making connected S with great people like you and Ewe (ASE)
