William Shakespeare once wrote, “Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.”

Screw that, we’re giving away chocolate instead.

As we do every once in a while here at Vox, we’re having a haiku contest for our readers.

You know the drill: submit your love-themed haiku in the comments below and we’ll pick our favorites to receive a box of chocolate for either themselves or their significant other (because nothing says true love like regifted chocolate).

To get things started, here’s an example:

True love is precious

But chocolate is better

Enter our contest
