UKIAH CHALLENGE #3 + Winners Announcement for Challenge #2
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.
Create a post using the tag #ukiahhaiku and link your post here.
Deadline will be next Thursday at midnight EST.
NEW! You may include in your post a color
choice for your trophy if you should win!
Let's see what you got and Good Luck!!
Winner of Challenge #2
@likedeeler
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!

At post payout for this post I will remove this image from my imgur page and the trophy will become the sole property of @likedeeler to use as he sees fit. Congratulations on the win!!
If you would like to use this trophy on any of your future posts and are having trouble I have written a post detailing how to do it HERE.
Thank you for your challenge, that was fun!
I´ve downloaded my trophy to imgur, but, being the hightech-lowlife that I am, I can´t manage to post it on steemit, I don´t find the original gif-file on imgur, but never mind, one day, when I visit a tech-savvy friend, he will help me. Cheers!
@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #16. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest list I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!

I´m a girl, in love with you,
my piss is yellow and the sky is blue,
and I´m a romantic too.
