I have been participating in a poetry group while here in Florida. It offers the opportunity to receive feedback, learn, and improve. Recently, a member of the group introduced the "haibun." This is a form I had never heard of, but I gave it a try. My first attempt fell short on the haiku portion. I made some revisions. I don't know that I came any closer to actual haiku, but I am happy with my effort and I am calling it done so I thought I would share. Chittenden Reservoir A camping trip at Chittenden Reservoir is a well-planned and coordinated event. Mike starts watching the weekly weather predictions in hopes of finding three consecutive Vermont summer days promising warmth and sunshine. If a full moon should happen to fall within those days, the camping gods have surely blessed us. We pack the van at night, leaving only the cooler to be packed with ice, food, and beverage and then loaded in the predawn hours of the morning as we start the 70 mile trip
