Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Contest!!!
Come one, come all, give me your best 17 syllables! Those interpid few who accept this challenge could win 1.5 SBDs for 30 seconds of work. That's 180 SBDs per hour!
Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner.
(Note to all waiting to hear winners of the most recent contest: stay tuned!)
Contest Instructions
Write a haiku about snow.
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:
Cold clouds bring the snow.
Warm sun reclaims the heavens.
Water serves them both.
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 
Hive account@theironfelix, who's getting .005 SBDs from me just for the idea. If you have any suggestions for future contests, reply below!
How to Participate
- Reply below with your haiku. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, December 7, 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!
Also, give congrats to all who've participated in my previous contests -- the list keeps growing!
