    I wish I could think like you do and bring the prompt to me even if it’s out of its element. Love this.

      Good day Maggie, MMT is the master on bringing the prompts to him/herself. I think you can try to associate on one thing in the posts. You know the Tan Renga? The second stanza is associated on something out of the first stanza, e.g. a color, which you can relate to. Maybe that’s the way to write your haiku inspired on the prompts I give.

    Nicely done MMT. You have caught the essence of the prompt for today in your haiku. And that photo … wow!

    gentle, calm, serene
    your warm words do touch my heart
    deep silence prevails

    Ablutions are best done in secret places like this…
