Hello Andrea, Your usual immaculate standard. Well done. A figure three haiku is a term I conceived of myself(I think)! It refers to the numerical layout of the words in my contest entry(I hope)! I tried to arrange my words in the form of the number 3. Thanks for your comments. Howard

My eyes have to dart around just to read ... the twist in the actual path must be quite sharp! Curious what the contest entailed...

Great idea for this contest Andrea. I loved how you used 'takes a sudden' and 'twist', in different lines... also 'when the long straight path' in one line..great imagery. I hope this will place high... I just miss writing for this interesting contest and other contests... I couldn't log in much to Soup....Hugs..~ Ani.
