Hope you entered this finally. It's outstanding. Even if a poem is read by the judge, you can go to your contest area and remove it as a submission. Did you know that? I only learned it a year ago!

Hello JCB, I meet you in reading this haiku, directed here after reading a comment you made to dear Ink Empress. This haiku touched me alot. I am also a visual artist, in process of posting my work on FineArtAmerica. My immediate response here was, “Yes & the haiku here imports a picture worth 1,000 words…”
