This poetry style is inspired by the work of @japhofin8or.

He has encouraged everyone to have a go.

@japhofin8or is a steemit poet and also the host of a haiku contest with a difference.

The Ukiah Challenge.

This week's challenge is just about to finish.
Get in quick it is week 3 the odds look good, but these lucky odds will not last long, this is going to be big.

It is essentially a haiku contest, but the syllables change each week, as does the topic.

Perhaps those traditionalist poets out there in Steemland will find it a bit rebellious.
A bit risque or somehow irreverent.

But I like it.

He also coloured my tired banner for me.
Thank you @japhofin8or!
I returned the gesture with my B grade degrade of his black out poetry banner. I have some work to do learning how to use digital art programmes.

I hope you enjoy the haiku contest and the blackout style too.
