I would suggest you drag those haiku out and plop them on this site. You can insert them whenever you are actually at a loss for words, should that occur.

This is a very well written 5-7-5 poem you have penned for the contest. I really like what you said here:
" I would like to leave you with this. Until our paths cross again, I wish you great joy in moments that are shared within '17' syllables." Best wishes in the contest! Teri

Kudos to your former boss. Your fondness for succinctness will play well in many environments beyond the haiku (it will also provide you an opportunity to try on more pen names). Your short "share your story" entry is an excellent example of what you are capable of beyond haikus. I enjoyed your insights.

Congratulations on your first entry. What an ambitious person you are! Your enthusiasm is contagious.

From the pure tatse of candied chocolate [From the pure TASTE of candied chocolate ...]

I love the haiku in the body of your story:
A dedication
To those who journal their lives
Within syllables.

I would offer a cautious suggestion in your "Author's Note" line: "The last couple of years have been an adventure into self-introspection." [It should be either "an adventure into the self" or "an adventure into introspection". Combining the two, in my estimation, is a bit of overkill.

But that's all ... I know you have a brilliant future here on FanStory. Enjoy yourself and make lots of friends. They can be invaluable.
