Hey You! Last Week To Haiku! (and win some $$$)

Hey You! Haiku!

This last week before the election we all need a little zen more than ever! So, take a minute, turn inward, count out a few syllables and share with us whatever it is that turns you on about voting in haiku form. It could be worth cash, which could reciprocate your zen, which could only lead to more inner peace!
Please feel free to submit more new haiku even if you participated already.

Prizes wil be awarded (except where against the law) as follow:
Grand Prize Winner: $150
Weekly First Place Winner: $50
Runner(s) Up: Prize Packs w/ all sorts of goodies

Here are the rules:

1. This contest is open to anyone in the world* except where prohibited by law.

2. Each individual may submit up to 5 haiku per week. Haiku must adhere to 5/7/5/ traditional syllable structure. BTW: go ahead and rhyme if you want to.
Post your haiku as a comment.

3. No mention or flaming of the candidates, their families, political parties, etc. In other words: BE NICE (please). Please stick to an election season theme.

4. No anonymous posts will be judged. You do not have to be a member of blogger, but you must identify your first initial and last name, state you will be voting in, and may include a quote or blog link. If we can't find you, we can't award you a prize.

5.Weekly winners and three runners up will be announced each Sunday (10/17, 24, 31/ 2004)for three weeks. A grand prize winner from among the weekly winners will be announced on Tuesday, November 2nd. All judging decisions by the VoterVirgin blog team are final.
