I apologize that this post has taken so long to write. Some life issues had to be addressed and I haven't had the time to be as involved in the community as I would have liked. This challenge will be running till Thursday March 1st. Thank you for understanding.
Freestyle UKIAH is a variation of traditional Haiku. The notable difference being that the original Haiku uses a set syllable count (5-7-5) while this challenge changes the syllable counts from week to week while still staying with the Haiku form of lines 1 and 3 being the same and line 2 being different. Our rules, our challenge, our expression.
The Freestyle Ukiah challenge is simple. I will choose the syllable count and a broad subject for the Ukiah. You write a poem that follows those rules. Like I said - SIMPLE. The winner of this challenge will receive the UKIAH MASTER trophy.
Prompts for this Challenge:
9-8-9 syllable count
EMOTION
Your Ukiah must follow the prompts for this challenge.

choice for your trophy if you should win!
Let's see what you got and Good Luck!!
Winner of Challenge #3

Scare the sky with knights in black;
Splay their hate o'er the soft swathe of blue calm;
Soon, the sky will cry her fear..
At first I thought of dusk when reading this.
Then I envisioned a thunderstorm. I love that
this was open to separate interpretations.
