Win SBDs and More: VDUX Disco Haiku Party!!!
No dancing necessary to win 2 SBD and author rewards in the VDux Disco Haiku Party! All you need to do is write a haiku. 17 syllables and the truth, as we say here in 'merica.
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 aliens. Extraterrestrials only, not humans from countries other than your own. No political haikus, please. But, you can 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 can pronounce aliens "AIL-EE-ENS" or "AIL-YENS" (no points off for your dialect) and you may submit multiple haikus. Each one will be considered a separate entry.
(PS thank you @jadams2k18 for Suggesting the Theme. I'll send you .005 SBDs as "Thank You" soon.)
How to Participate
- Reply below with your haiku. Deadine: 11:59 pm UTC, July 6, 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.

- 2 SBD
- Half of this post's author awards
- 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:
- Any SBDs dotated to this contest
- 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.

A conspiracy

Men in black hide well
Are aliens already here?
VDUX might be one
Good one! If I was an alien, would I ever tell anybody?
Their glares as I laugh:
They come in peace to us from
beyond Uranus
😁
Uranus is a long way to travel!
It's out there somewhere
An extraterrestrial
I want to believe
X-Files forever!!! Such nostalgic haiku!
Believe, then! You never know...
My entry
A young embryo.
I am in need of a host.
You look inviting.
No I don't!
Who is the alien?
Depends on the point of view.
Aren't we all the same?

Ah, yes, I see what you did there. Hai-Kudos!
It was funny actually. I wasn't sure what to do, but I saw this picture and he just sorta told me that we are aliens to him as well.
I've been called worse.
hahaha. Having spent time in a foreign country, I've done the whole "alien" bit too. :-) (This guy looks equally "resident" too.)
Hi my friend vdux! Long time no see!
They walk among us
they came in peace, so they say
til they suck your mind
Aliens, they always want to eat your brain
Thank you so much dear friend.
Alien zombies, I presume?
Well, first I was thinking about Mork and Mindy, then I went to Starship Troopers
Oh so many stars
Probability is that
We are not alone
Some say...

Pyramids of old
Crop circles, Stonehenge and more
Aliens exist

Hello UFO!
Lights in the night sky
Flying saucers passing by
Go outside, say Hi
Pranks at The New Job
Probe some human butts?
What do they learn from this stuff?
First days getting rough!
Excellent rhymes. Double entry!
I have been having a lot of fun with this theme, here I have a two part haiku for you!
Nope, no aliens!
No abduction here
Nothing to see FBI
Normal Human guy
It looks like green skin
But it is only the light
Trust fellow Human
