Great poem, Carolyn! Good luck in the contest. You know, I am learning a lot about haiku, through an expert in this form on the "Haiku Ink" group on facebook, and we are not necessarily well informed about this form of poetry on most poetry site. Having said that I still enjoyed reading your work, makes me want an vanilla ice cream right now. :) Love, Caroline.
