Welcome to the VDUX Haiku Contest!!!

Do you have 30 seconds free?

If you use those 30 seconds to write 17 syllables about machines that move people and things, you could win 1.5 SBDs in my haiku contest!

Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. This week's theme comes from @jamethiel as one of the suggestions from followers (and .005 SBDs for the suggestion).

Also make sure you check out some other steemers who host or promote contests: @mermaidvampire, @zephalexia, @bananafish / @f3nix, @firepower, @olivia08, @calluna, @dbooster, @d-vine, @rentmoney . . . I'm sure I'm missing somebody, sorry if I did!

Contest Instructions

Write a haiku about VEHICLES.

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:

Semis, trains, dumptrucks.

My son leaves them on the floor!

Guess who steps on them?

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

How to Participate

  1. Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, April 30, 2019.
  2. Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, April 30, 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! Let me know 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 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!

Sort:  

A different kind of vehicle:

I love my wagon
It takes me around the yard
When Mommy pulls me :)

Woohoo one of my themes is being used!

Transportation Rules
One- sit down, strap in, hold on
Two- breathe in, breathe out

Tour bus big windows
First time visit to city
Eyes wide to see all

School bus picks up kids
Follows Route to get to school
My job- Support them

Never tell a Pilot
That they are a Bus Driver
Of a big sky Bus

😁

You got it!

Ok, good, four in one. Noted. Keep steemin'!

Maybe Runs Sometimes
Made of a Broken Engine
Used Lot End of Fall

I know what that's like.
One thing breaks, then another.
Time for a new car!

Maybe runs sometimes

What a great way to start. We really get in the mood, right away. I've been there :)

OK, I went full blast...wrote a whole bunch and published them as a post. Too much time on my hands. Too much fun writing.
Haiku Contest: The Universe of Vehicles

Maybe more people will find the contest this way :)

Nice! Quantity AND quality!

It really was a slow night. Had to force myself to stop :))

Wow I guess vehicles really get your mind racing!

(See what I did there? Racing?)

😁
I get mixed up between my two accounts--so you get two grins :)

I'll take them both!

Nice challenge--so many different kinds of vehicles :)

Open the windows
No air conditioning here!
We need a new car!!

Kids in the backseat.
Fighting, squirming, yelling loud,
"Are we there yet, Dad?"

Been there. Have you gotten this:

"Daddy, how many more minutes until we get there?"

"Eleven minutes"

[Waits about 3 seconds]

"Now how many minutes?"

"Eleven"

"Tell me when it's ten minutes?"

"Ok"

[Waits 3 more seconds]

"Is it ten minutes yet?"
