Each week author Ronovan Hester invites interested readers to participate in a Haiku Prompt Challenge. This week he provided the words Slow and Burn. I'm a novice at this art form, but I'm intrigued enough to attempt this simple verse. ​If you have interest, please click on the link above, where you'll find detailed instructions.

My Haiku is entitled The Dance. May each of us discover or remember love's passion during this beautiful season.

Your Haikus are wonderful, Gwen. This one in particular touched me. Maybe it was the looks on their faces. Whatever the reason, it fits perfectly.

Thank you so much, Jan. Their expressions are very sweet, aren't they. It's easy to write when the vision is clear. ♥

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
