Colour Blindness

We see only skin
that protects the inner soul...
like reading one's mind

gosh, somehow I missed THIS one. You must have posted it right before I left for Iowa last week. This was a wonderful way to do the color blindness topic, harry. Good luck in the contest. (let me see if I missed any others since I've been gone)

This is really a wonderful senryu, harry! You definitely gave another meaning for color blindness! Deep write that I really enjoyed reading-- it's really great how you expressed so much in those 3 lines :)
