Winning Hand

For a while now, I’ve been participating in poetry prompt challenges here and on Twitter.  One of my steady favorites is issued every Monday morning by RonovanWrites.  I came in at week #8 and have been back for more ever since.

For those of you that don’t know the intricacies of Haiku:

• You have three lines of poetry.
• 17 total syllables usually in the 5/7/5 pattern.
• Haiku can be broken into two sentences with the middle line of the three lines being the commonly used part, meaning 1&2 and 2&3 making sentences.
• There are normally two opposite meanings in the first and last sentences.

Here is my submission for this week’s RonovanWrites Haiku Prompt Challenge #30:

Prompts: Force & Free

Force will not reveal,
Winning hand held tight chested,
Nothing trumps freedom.
