Author Ron Hester hosts a challenge that anyone can participate in called Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge. This week's prompts are Lake and Calm. You can read Ron's Haiku Prompt Challenge Guidelines for more information about submitting your work. This is my second attempt at Haiku. Thank you Ron and Davy D for the inspiration.

I loved the two words which already calmed me. You took it to another level with the picture and wonderful Haiku. It makes me want to drive to the lake tomorrow:)

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
