On a whim, I'm responding to an invitation to write a Haiku poem using the two words Sweet and Scent. They are this week’s prompt words chosen by writer Ronovan Hester. Ron hosts a challenge that anyone can participate in called Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge. Be sure to check it out. If inspiration beckons, read Ron’s Haiku Prompt Challenge Guidelines for more information. 

My first attempt:

Such a lovely Haiku. Is wonderful when one hides in verse and have those words remind another sweetly of you. Great job, Gwen

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
