That shift in your haiku---enchantingly unexpected; I remember how clumsy I was that prom night. This is a memorable poem, Nette!

Terrific image here. The orchids swinging capture the anticipation of a date with a sense of excitement and nervousness ( dangling on ribbons) is a the true quality of a haiku!
