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:
7-10-7 syllable count
THE COLOR BLUE
(e.g. blue sky, blue eyes, blue water, etc)
Your Ukiah must follow the prompts for this challenge.

Winner of Challenge #2
Two black and white clad birds of pray,
beg the Lord: Please stay!
but to them nuns the Lord says: Nay!
It was awesome the way that this poem
used 'birds of pray' as a double entendre.
It was witty and humorous. Good work!
