I did however add a link and it's not what I think you had in mind but it strongly speaks to what I live for, what I'm passionate about: speaking truth. Speaking for those who can't speak. I am passionate about railing against injustice, cruelty, violence. This is why I write.LaTonya Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837979981517423142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-59671673099050180452013-07-14T16:54:32.137-05:002013-07-14T16:54:32.137-05:00And a Tanka or a Senryu are not haiku...they come ...And a Tanka or a Senryu are not haiku...they come from the same historical roots though... ;)<br /><br />Thank you, for the challenge, Shay!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124956200834969600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-63080312097529457692013-07-14T07:59:41.489-05:002013-07-14T07:59:41.489-05:00A wonderful challenge Shay ~ I am vacationing in ...A wonderful challenge Shay ~ I am vacationing in Vancouver at the moment and will try to see if I can write for this prompt ~<br /><br />And in other news, I can't believe Glee's star Cory is dead and we were going around the Vancouver area all of yesterday ~ Wishing you all happy weekend ~ Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213172239590722747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-47627256200505722092013-07-14T07:09:48.138-05:002013-07-14T07:09:48.138-05:00Thanks for this intriguing challenge, Shay.

I am remarkably apathetic this weekend after weeks of heat and meds, but I resurrected something from a more passionate past and reconstructed it rather thoroughly for this.
