You thought outside the box with this contest, Iris. It's the fire of recovery that sparks the soul to salvation! Justin doesn't pick too many winners (only 3 and the rest are Honorable Mentions), but I love participating in them nonetheless because the themes are always very vague, it gets your mind going. I liked your brevity ... a lot of thought in few words.

This is a lovely creative haiku, Iris; having said that, I have the feeling that Justin would be looking out for longer writes; of course I could be wrong! ~ Regards // paul
