Pianist's fingers trill the room
 while the ghosts of Liszt and Chopin loom

Hi D. I was surprised at my placement with the haiku. (But I had a good teacher). the contests are great. It's like an exercise that makes one think. Love this Crystalline, ( another new word). You summed up a great vision in this musical piece. best of luck in the contest. See you Tuesday. Eamon
