FREESTYLE UKIAH CHALLENGE #5 + Winners Announcement for Challenge #4

These challenge posts are taking longer than I would like but I am trying to get a handle on the timeframe. I appreciate your patience while I get myself in order. Thank You.

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
WATER

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!!

my health, this pain cannot be borne well.

One note: He requested a lime green trophy
