           BLOOD


    Three word commitment

Her conspicuous pink flush

    Lights up his Eden



     Forbidden fruits hang

 Serpents swear to stir the blood

   Blithe spirits ignore

  8. Beautifully crafted haiku. I always am of the opinion that writing a haiku is hard job. Never tried one, but I think you made it well.

  21. My vote goes for the second one, Sumana. Blood would be hard to write for, you did really good.
