| Posted by Charles M Harrison on 07/29/06 at 05:12 PM I think we can scense wounds in others that we have experienced. Good Haiku I am just starting to try Haiku's myself. |
| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 02/07/07 at 12:58 PM Fantastic, Robin! This haiku is so rich in meaning. Congratulations on your POTD. Well deserved. |
| Posted by JD Clay on 02/07/07 at 02:28 PM This haiku reads like three separate questions dealing with inner conflict. Pertinent yet haunting, melancholy yet searching for resolve through understanding. Three cheers for Poem of the Day. |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 02/07/07 at 10:21 PM Robin, CONGRATULATIONS on POTD! Yes, our wounds are not always hidden. Even the ones we try to hide some can see - our hearts and eyes show them.
And if others hurt just like us, they can see it too. Too many things are universal, especially pain and that's unfortunate.

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 02/07/07 at 11:14 PM The title invites. It says no, but has a yes implied. So our hidden self, wounded secretly, holding in, finds comfort and says "how did you know it"? I think the poem well formed, and spoken, says this and invites that comfort in eyes meeting, of knowing another who understands. |
