Win SBDs and More: VDUX Disco Haiku Party!!!

No dancing necessary to win 2 SBD and author rewards in the VDux Disco Haiku Party! All you need to do is write a haiku. 17 syllables and the truth, as we say here in 'merica.

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 aliens. Extraterrestrials only, not humans from countries other than your own. No political haikus, please. But, you can 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:

Heard about aliens.
Lifeforms from another world.
Have they been to ours?

You can pronounce aliens "AIL-EE-ENS" or "AIL-YENS" (no points off for your dialect) and you may submit multiple haikus. Each one will be considered a separate entry.

(PS thank you @jadams2k18 for Suggesting the Theme. I'll send you .005 SBDs as "Thank You" soon.)

How to Participate

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

Winner gets:

• 2 SBD
• Half of this post's author awards
• 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:

• Any SBDs dotated to this contest
• 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.
