    My prompt was Robert Lee Brewer’s “challenge within a challenge” of writing a tanka from April 12, 2012. His post was on his Poetic Asides blog. Link here:

    I used his poetry form prompt combined with Linda Papanicolaou’s haiku writing prompt “summer heat” on Facebook.

    The National Haiku Writing Month (NaHaiWriMo) group on Facebook continues with guest prompters year around. Link here:

    Press on with your writing!

    Sincerely, Andy

    So quiet and restful–I like the hint of relief that the hardest part is done. And the “webs / outlined in dust”! What a great visual.
