The Price of First Sight
innominate

A blind man opens
 1
his heart and sees her shining;
 2
denied, he winces.

Very good. Most people have difficulty with haikus, but you have embraced it beautifully.

I like this but I wonder if the title would be stronger as The Price of Second Sight, because he has to imagine her, not see visually but with the other kind of sight.

Just a thought.  Nice haiku.

ah, beautiful random.  Still good, still small and nearly perfect.

I am new to this site and keep clicking on poems that I have no critique for. This is a perfect, if bittersweet haiku, I like!

I love getting compliments for something I did two years ago.  This site rocks!  Thanks for the kudos, peeps.
