Welcome to the VDUX Haiku World of Sports!!!
Ironically I chose the theme picture of pro wrestling, which is performance art not sport. Eh, well, I couldn't choose a single sport.
Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. As always, every haiku you write could get you the 1.5 SBD winner's prize.
If you're in a haiku-y mood, make sure you also visit my haiku brethren @bananafish for the Mizo No Oto contest.
Contest Instructions
Write a haiku about sports. Bonus points for mentioning a sport that's popular in your part of the world. You can write in spanish or english only.
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, March 8, 2019.
- Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, March 8, 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! 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 -- the list keeps growing!

Bolas criollas es un deporte que se practica en Venezuela, también lo juegan en Colombia, específicamente en Cúcuta, fue traído a Suramérica por un fraile español en la época de la conquista española. Tiene un parentesco con deportes europeos como : bocce petanca y bochas.
El juego de bolas consiste en dos grupos de 8 bolas cada una, generalmente están identificadas por los colores rojo y verde. Hay una más pequeña llamada mingo.
Debe haber dos equipos de jugadores de 4 integrantes cada uno y un capitán por cada equipo que dirige hacia donde se debe hacer la jugada.
El objetivo del juego consiste en colocar la mayor cantidad de bolas de mismo color cerca del mingo.
El mingo se lanza primero y luego de acuerdo a un sorteo se van lanza en forma alterna la primera bola de cada equipo.
Las bolas siguientes se lanzas de acuerdo a la anotación del ganador.
Las jugadas se llaman:
• Arrime: se lanza la bola en forma rastrera y con suavidad, acertando llear lo más cerca posible del mingo.
• Boche: es lanzar la bola con fuerza con la intención de quitar al oponente del lugar que está más cerca del mingo. Esta jugada debe ser lanzada por el aire.
• Boche rastrero o Marrana: es lanzar la bola de la misma forma e intención del boche pero en forma rastrera, o sea al ras del suelo pero con velocidad para tratar de quitar la bola del contrario.
Para hacer las jugadas de boche se requiere de fuerza, precisión y buena puntería.
El juego se pone emocionante si uno de los jugadores logra tocar y sacar el mingo del área, esto cambia toda la geometría del juego y el curso del set, y si el mingo sale del área perimetral se devuelven todas las bolas y comienza de nuevo el set.
Los equipos del juego pueden ser masculinos o femeninos, máster, juvenil, infantil, pre infantil.
El peso de las bolas varía de acuerdo a la categoría. La bolas para el máster y juvenil pesa 1.200 gramos.

Messi is good, my nephew has his shirt. Can you rewrite the haiku so the first line is 5 syllables, the second line is 7 syllables, and the third line is 5 syllables? To fit the contest rules.
