    thanks for that reply. I did not really see it that way. I just went to the butcher and I wrote that because it was a terrible picture for me.. It was so sad, destorying, awful and yet somehow beautiful. But I like the way you interprete this one. It makes also very much sense.. It is interesting what people think about such a short Haiku.. I just wrote it in like 15min and did not know that it had such a deep impact. Thanks for your comment again! Opened my eyes.

    you know.these few words say sooo much.The way you kept it so short gave it a bigger impact.this was like a piece of philosophy,it really made you think.i read into it in a way that people are infatuated by pain,people pay to see blood shed whether its boxing,war or a kinky dvd.it makes me think of people who are experiencing real pain,real bloodshed and yet are not being taken seriously

    heh, cool. I normally am not one for haiku, but this one is especially intriguing to me. So much imagery in only 10 words.

    That last line took it to the top - well written - more of a senryu I think - dealing with human nature, rather than nature. Lovely modern version.

    That was unexpected, yet good. I liked what you said in just a few words. And it sort of has a twist at the end because of the last line. You think it's going to go one way and then it goes another. Very nice. I think it's cool how you can be inspired by almost anything in the world. Great write. -R.T
