Source: Giphy
Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Contest About Teenagers!!!
Have you ever been 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19 years old? Are you now?
Great! Write a haiku about it and you might win 1.5 SBDs and have fun.
Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. As always, every haiku you write could get you the 1.5 SBD winner's prize.
NOTE I will announce winners of the most recent haiku contest soon.
Contest Instructions
Write a haiku about teenagers (you, your friends, or young people in general).
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 PLEASE make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry.
This theme comes from @shawnsporter, who's getting .005 SBDs from me just for the idea. Next contest theme will come from @poyim but I'm not telling anybody until after this contest closes.
How to Participate
- Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, January 18, 2019.
- Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, January 18, 2019.
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 helps all of us.
Also, post your entry on your own blog! Mention @vdux and I'll give you an upvote and resteem your post.
And, collect 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 -- the list keeps growing!

Hi @vdux here is my entry for this one:
Greetings.
Salgo al paso
pensando por mí mismo.
irreverencia
I'll count irreverencia as 5 syllables, I assume Venezuelan accent.
Gracias mi compañero escritor
Hello this is my participation: Mi Haiku Adolescente
Read it. Liked it. Hello!
Thanks @vdux! Here's my entry:
Their raging hormones
Lead to dire consequences
Teenage pregnancy.
Oh my. Yes, this happens, too often.
https://steemit.com/haikucontest/@tristancarax/moths-and-teens
Tsk tsk. What would you mother say about that?
I was mad at my mother one night and took off. Somehow, I ended up with this really hot girl in a laundry mat. I was too afraid to kiss her, but she banged he hand on a lip and got a cut. I don't remember if I did anything or not. I do know I wanted to get naked!
We never got together after that.
I do remember seeing my mother drive past.
Oh my! What would your mother say if she knew???
OK, I got one. You won't like it :)
Reincarnation?
No, please, never more a teen.
Once was quite enough.
Of course I love it. BRACES TWICE?!?!?!?!? I'm so in.
😁
Totes!!!!!

my haiku entry to @vdux haiku competition
no money, just joy
lots of energy, less time
sudden idol, dope
Word. Now money, no joy?
Aqui dejo mi entrada, espero esté a la altura de los participantes.
Adrenalina a tirar
Sentir y probar
Hablo algo de español pero no entiendo muy bien. Que es "Adrenalina a tirar" -- como tirar la basura?
Teenager
Adrenaline (to throw away?)
Feel and try it.
La adrenalina es una hormona que te acelera o te activa y los adolescentes las tienen al mil porciento, y necesitan sacar o drenar. por eso la expresión.
ok, tirar = perder
I know everything.
But can you pick me up please?
I am teenager.

I remember those days! Not too long ago.
home-schooled teenager
education liberty
independent mind
Rock on! True story?
I was homeschooled, and it was largely self-directed from about 6th grade on. I skipped 12th grade to go straight to the local community college. I suspect that influenced my continuing independent lifelong education drive.
