Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Contest!!!

If you're still steemin' and you can spare 30 seconds, you can earn 1.5 SBDs and have fun doing it, too!

Write a haiku for this 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 fishing! Not phishing. 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 likes to fish --
For cards, clues, and compliments.
Rarely catches one!

You may submit multiple haikus. Please make each haiku its own reply so I can give you an upvote for each entry.

This theme comes from Hive account@felixgarciap , who's getting .005 SBDs from me just for the idea. If you have any suggestions, Tell Me!!1

How to Participate

1. Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, November 11, 2018.
2. Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, November 11, 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 Hive account@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!
