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.

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.
