She has won the 3rd prize in the 2017 Le Prix Jocelyne Villeneuve, first prize in the 2015 Fleeting Words Tanka Contest and other prizes.

Enhanced by the use of an implied simile with a hyperbolic bent in L3, the juxtaposition of her blue prom dress and his starry eyes makes this prom/graduation ball haiku visually and emotionally effective.
