...Hurt Knife's Edge of Pain

hurt knife’s edge of pain
sear the gut punch of sorrow…
return innocence

A first smile after a cascade of tears and sorrow is a blessing. Sometimes when I hurt I think of the days when I was a child, when I was innocent and didn't feel the taste of pain. It's harder to return to innocence when you are a grown up, but not impossible. Inspiring haiku, Deborah. Emily

Deborah, you MAY have entered. I don't know. John has the contest entries. Why don't you check to see if you already entered. I do appreciate your support of John's contest very much! Love, Carolyn

Very, very powerful punch to this senryu. I hope you will enter John's contest. He can't figure out what happened to all the limerick writers. I think people are just having trouble getting permission to rewrite someone else's limerick. I'm sure John would allow you to rewrite one of his and you could choose from any of mine. We'd really like to close out this contest. I don't think there will be any losers -- there never are in John's contests. Love, Carolyn
