Author Colleen Chesebro is an accomplished writer and poet. Each week she invites readers to stretch a bit and respond to a prompt through a poetic form. This week the sky is the limit, because followers can use any syllabic form. 

Won't you join in this exercise? If interested, just click on Colleen's name, and you'll travel to her site where she offers much guidance. 

My contribution is a simple haiku poem (5-7-5 syllables), and the photo is one I took while walking in the early morning. My poem is entitled, Ozark Sunrise.

What a beautiful sunrise, Gwen. I love your Haiku and the last line "We dance in the light."

Thank you, John. It's a little too cold this morning to take that same walk. Winter has officially arrived. 😊

I love this Haiga, Gwen. What an amazing photo. I just read where Denise Finn is making calendars for her family using her photos and haiga poetry. How cool! <3

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
