Every week author Ronovan Hester offers a Haiku Prompt Challenge of two words. This week his words are tart and sweet. If you are interested in trying this art form, please click on his name and you'll be led to his website where he describes the rules and offers encouragement.

My poem focuses on desire, evoked by the senses.

Yes, it sure is. It can be addictive. Ha, ha! I also enjoy Tanka and Senryu. Look these up. I'm sure you'll enjoy writing them and I'm equally sure you'll be great at it. <3

You really are getting quite good at these, Gwen. This one is the perfect marriage between the words and the photo.

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
