To our Webmiss,
I know the time is running short but I still need to ask;
If I enter a haiku of mine with a photo taken by another member, would you accept it to the competition as a collaboration?
Thank you, Mistress.

Hi Jade, I would certainly credit the person who took the photo if it gets shared out on social media. I'm not sure if that suitably answers your question though![](/images/forum/smilies/oops.gif)
