Welcome to the VDUX Japanese Haiku Contest . . . ABOUT JAPAN!!!
I told you I Need Haiku Themes, Will Reward You for Your Suggestions -- and you responded! I'm going through the list of suggestions each person gave for the themes of my next EIGHT contests.
This first one comes from @mayliberty who's getting .005 SBDs just for the suggestion. Hey @boxcarblue, @dbooster, @dmilliz -- all my other peeps from Japan!
Contest Instructions
Write a haiku about Japan. A haiku about the land that created haikus!
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 PLEASE make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry.
How to Participate
- Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, April 1, 2019.
- Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, April 1, 2019.
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 helps all of us.
Also, post your entry on your own blog! Tell me if you so I can 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 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 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!

Cool. My son just discovered Pokemon. Why are Japanese cartoons so wild? Is it the bad translations?

I used to watch it, too, and play the Pokemon game as well. There are lots of Japanese animés that I used to like when I was a kid, like Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z, Doraemon, Ghostfighter, Voltes V, and many more. And yes, they are wild! Translations are funny too.
