Win SBDs and More: VDUX Soul Train Haiku Disco!!!

Don Cornelius himself would approve of a chance to win 2 SBD, author rewards, and some free publicity. All you need to do is write 17 syllables.

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 pancakes. Yes, PANCAKES. Bonus for incorporating the New Day into your entry. 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 makes pancakes

Some plain, some with M&Ms
His kids love sugar

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

Thank you to Hive account@tygertyger for suggesting the theme! I got .005 SBDs coming your way!
