  1. A moment is keenly captured in Steliana's well crafted haiku with its allusive L1 referring to Robert Frost's poem below:

    "After Apple-Picking"


    My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
    Toward heaven still,
    And there's a barrel that I didn't fill ...

    This poem could be read as a response haiku to the opening lines of Frost's poem above.
