Honorable Mention

     Woo hoo! After the success of my 1st Haiku My Photo Challenge, I have another reason to jump up and down. I received a letter from Kaji Aso Studio informing me that my haiku received honorable mention. Here's the letter that I received.

    Your haiku deserves more than an honorable mention.
