Welcome to the VDUX Salsa Dancin' Haiku Contest!!!
No dancing necessary to win 2 SBD, author rewards, and some free publicity. All you need to do is write a haiku. The last contest winner will get 3.09 SBDs -- who knows how much THIS contest winner will get!
@dbooster where are your photos! @firepower show us some love, we need some HAIKU-POWER! @cheetah, come and get me!
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 community. Positive, negative, anything inbetween. 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:
You may submit multiple haikus, but you need to make each haiku its own reply. Each one will be considered a separate entry. Got that, @rlt47?
This week's theme comes from @shawnsporter -- thank him for the suggestion! He's getting .005 SBDs from me just for the idea. If you have any suggestions, let me know!
How to Participate
- Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, July 13, 2018.
- Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, July 13, 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.

How I Will Select the Winner

I feel your life force beating
It moves me to song
https://steemit.com/haiku/@acousticsteveo/vdux-s-haiku-contest-entry-community
All of us! Will you post another song?
You know it!
I announced the winner https://steemit.com/contest/@vdux/are-you-the-winner

Tomorrow. I have it recorded, just need to write the post, until then, sleep beckons. 😎
I know how that is!
When you feel the wave
Goodness washing over you
Know you're not alone
You won! https://steemit.com/contest/@vdux/are-you-the-winner
Community of surfers?
Lol. Not quite. That is not a physical wave. That is mental processing sending good vibes to those that will receive it. Sending good thoughts, as it were. The receiver feels the good energy.

Ahhhh! you announce me as a loser!
Haha, Just kidding :)
Hello I've got a haiku on community, sooner than you think.
Great! Can't wait to read it!
Sometimes what you want is right there in front of you and you just can't see.
That's exactly how I feel right now!
When I feel confused, I sometimes take a step back. It can help me see.

Sooner than you think
Sometimes what you want

And you just can't see

Thanks for being a good sport about it! We made a good team, heh.

Hahaha! Ask them in a memo to have you on whitelist. I did it before I made my daily contest which is really repetitive, same old stuff written everyday.
I'll take the upvote ::wink::
I get by with a little help...
Can't do this alone
