I can see every
sin done through your eye’s swollen
blood vessels – piercing.

"Clear eyes" will not wash
away all of the vengeful
spirits, now will it?

No porb. But you're definitely better. Your passion for them and the dedication demonstrates in all of them. Keep at it!

Thank you for commenting on all of my haikus! I work really hard at them, and I can see that you are really good at haikus also.

Captivating and thought-porvoling. I enjoyed how you ended this poem with a rhetorical question. By the way, congrats with all of the Editors' Choices!
