I entered just for the heck of it, knowing I did not have a chance anyway!

I am quite sure that this is the first acrostic-haiku that I've ever come across, Andrea! It's alright for a snake to have a desert picnic at sunset, but definitely not for me:) I hope the judge will take into consideration the creative aspect! Regards // paul

Well done! The synergy of acrostic and haiku with vivid images!

The asp of old Egypt, still a symbol over there, as your poetry is here..
