Some feel a need to separate these two haiku. However, for me they work as the perfect pair. "Stained" is an interesting word choice for both, given that it can imply a number of conditions. Nice work! Jack

I like both a lot, but maybe for haiku form, the second is better?

I like the first one better, but I suppose everyone has their own opinion. What a thought though! Such power it has to engage the senses!

I love these Haiku Charmaine, both are exquisitely written! My favorite has to be the last one, I don't know why, it just gives a certain feel! What a spectacular and creative poem, Great Work!!
