Poetry Prompts - 1. Tanka #1
@AC Benus kindly suggested that I take a look at his Tanka poetry prompt.
A Tanka contains five lines arranged in the following syllables: 5-7-5-7-7. Unlike a Haiku, a Tanka is not meant to be abstract. Rather, it should illustrate the poet's observation of a season and the feelings it conjures up within him.
Here is a Tanka I wrote for the prompt. I enjoyed creating it and will probably try my hand at more.

Raindrops that sizzle
Dancing across scorched pavement
Bring little reprieve
To the desert of my heart
Where your presence still smolders
