Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Mosh Pit Contest!!!

Crank up the distortion and blast your best 17 syllables. You might win 2 SBD, author rewards, and some free publicity. All you need to do is write a haiku.

@dbooster I'm still waiting for your haiku!

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 candy, any candy or anything you do with candy. 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 loves the taste.
Nibbles, pieces, bites, and chunks.
Dark chocolate is God.

I'll count syllables phonetically -- e.g., here we say "chock-lat" because we Americans never mastered the English language, but you might say "choc-o-late" in your part of the world. All good.

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

This theme comes from @poyim -- thank you for the suggestion! Look out for a .005 SBD "thank you" transfer from me -- just for the idea! If you have any suggestions, let me know!

How to Participate

1. Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, July 25, 2018.
2. Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, July 25, 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:

• 2 SBD
• Half of this post's author awards.
• Featured in the winner announcement I post.
• One free resteem from me for any of the winner's posts. (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:

• Featured in the winner announcement I post.
• One free resteem from me for any of the winner's posts. (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.

Slight preference to those who bring other people into the contest.

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:
