Welcome to the VDUX Haiku World of Sports!!!

Ironically I chose the theme picture of pro wrestling, which is performance art not sport. Eh, well, I couldn't choose a single sport.

Read below for more about the contest instructions, how to participate, awards, and how I'll select a winner. As always, every haiku you write could get you the 1.5 SBD winner's prize.

If you're in a haiku-y mood, make sure you also visit my haiku brethren @bananafish for the Mizo No Oto contest.

Contest Instructions

Write a haiku about sports. Bonus points for mentioning a sport that's popular in your part of the world. You can write in spanish or english only.

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:

Spring training begins.

Baltimore O's have high hopes.

One hundred losses!

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, March 8, 2019.
  2. Upvote this post. Deadline: 11:59 pm UTC, March 8, 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! 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:

  • 1.5 SBD
  • One free 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 free 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!

Well done!

Hi thanks for this haiku contest again, @vdux. Here's my entry:

Serve, spike, toss, set, dive
Volleyball skills you must have
But play fair and square.

Posted using Partiko Android

You just "netted" yourself a great haiku! "Ace" for you.

Second entry:

What is this award
"The best and fairest player"
Each one should aim for?

Posted using Partiko Android

That's a good one! New last line to fit syllables:

Which one should I be?

Strike! He swung and missed.
The baseball is thrown so fast.
Two more and he's out!

You nailed it. Obviously talking about Baltimore Orioles hitters, as our pitchers haven't thrown a first-pitch strike since 2017

Title:

  • UFC : A Defeated Champion

Conor was the Champ
He Picked a fight with Khabib
And got his ass stamped

Title:

  • UFC vs MMA

MMA will stay
Boxing has seen better days
Winning many ways !

Mayweather won.

(DISS)

  • Mayweather vs. Conor

In Boxing May Won
Too scared to fight MMA
He would lose anyway

$300 million later, no need!

cool! Thank you 😍

Yea, I've seen his name here and there, I heard he's a pretty decent boxer. Hope he gets famous one day!

He is also now a Senator in our country Philippines.
