Love At First Sight

A cloud I was given
            Had nose and brown eyes
                                       My baby...Christopher

Iolanda, I seem to remember something you told me about your son and if i am remembering correctly, it makes sense why you used cloud as the word. Congratulations in this contest Glad I got to finally see this haiku.

I am quite partial to brown eyes, sporting lightly caramel colored peepers myself! What a lucky baby to have you, who writes so sweetly for him! Congrats! ~ECMc

So beautiful Iolanda :) Cyndi will truly love this one-I'm sure of it!!! Thanks so much for watching my clip-It was awesome. They have 3 months from airdate (Nov. 2) to get me the car. No rush...I'd love if it was after the first of Jan...get to pay taxes next year then. We did get our $ though so that was nice. They film right in LA now...you should head up there-it's fun and everyone is so nice!!!
