Brazen Love

Author Suzanne Burke provides another extraordinary photo prompt and invites contributions for her Fiction In A Flash Challenge. This week's image is of lovers, sitting outside in a yard late at night. The preciousness of the image led me to create another Tanka poem of 5-7-5-7-7 syllables. 

If you'd like to participate, please click on Suzanne's name and you'll travel to her website, where she provides information about the prompt. I hope you decide to join in the fun!

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. ―Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
