Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Contest!!!
Now endorsed by Cardi B, the Vdux Haiku Contest keeps rolling!
Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. Also drop by @jayna's page for a cool 50-word challenge.
Contest Instructions
Write a haiku about music. 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:
You may submit multiple haikus, but you need to make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry.
I need more suggestions of themes! If you have any suggestions, TELL ME!
How to Participate
- Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, October 9, 2018.
- Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, October 9, 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.
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:

That is awesome! I see that offered occasionally on Craigslist, but what I really need is a full size keyboard, because I live in an apartment; that way I could plug in headphones and not drive my neighbors batty. Our walls are paper thin!

I managed to pick up a very nice electric piano. I'm very fussy when it comes to digital pianos - the weighting has to be normal so that I can play Axel F (the test I've applied for about 30 years, lol... like after I had it memorized. I literally have not looked at the music in that long - don't even have it now!)
When I was in England, we ended up with a really nice digital piano (the only thing I've ever bought as the result of inheritance.) And yes, the volume control was one of the nicest things about it - they seem to only do paper thin walls over there!

LOL. Our walls are so thin, I had a partier neighbor for a while who I got to hear puking every Saturday and Sunday morning because he had been out drinking Friday and Saturday night. It was so gross. 😲

True story. So my entry is here. But I am making a post on something else and I intend to mention this and other freewrite initiatives there and invite people to them. I will also post another haiku there, suggesting a topic or two for next week.
