Blackbirds and Bluebirds

Inconsiderate
Hearts will lack in elation
Throwing the first stone

Pain revisited
The quiet desperation
Soothes my aching bones

I agree that "inconsiderate hearts lack in elation." Tormented souls do not know how to be happy. Great Haiku! Carolyn

Each verse is in perfect 5,7,5 form while offering a smooth flow and great clarity through your good use of imagery. Very well written. Michael
