Win SBDs and More: VDUX Soul Train Haiku Disco!!!

Don Cornelius himself would approve of a chance to win 2 SBD, author rewards, and some free publicity. All you need to do is write 17 syllables.

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 pancakes. Yes, PANCAKES. Bonus for incorporating the New Day into your entry. 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 makes pancakes
Some plain, some with M&Ms
His kids love sugar

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

Thank you to @tygertyger for suggesting the theme! I got .005 SBDs coming your way!

How to Participate

1. Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, June 22, 2018.
2. Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, June 22, 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.

Awards

Winner gets:

• 2 SBD
• Half of this post's author awards
• One free "shout-out" for winning
• 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:

• One free "shout-out" for winning
• 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.

Feel free to reuse a haiku from the past and write as many as you want!
