some aches can be seen
others eat up the insides
just the shell remains
~~~
let me feast on joy
as pain slinks ‘neath the table
awaiting its turn
~~~
bruised purplish-black
amidst bright yellows and pinks
warp and weft of life
~~~
Haiku Heights / Pain
I like the shell remains and specially the color of pain in the third stanza ~

With permission I would like to send them your Pain Haiku as they are interested in using creative expressions in promos and/or the site itself. However, I need written permission.
If you give permission send me an e-mail at judithwesterfield@gmail.com with a cut-n-paste of the haiku you are giving permission for and whether you want your name attached or want to remain anonymous.
