❀ From my heart, to your soul ❀ A collection of 100 modern haikus about everyday emotions that matter- whether its waking in wrinkled sheets or kissing a stranger's cheek. Sometimes, all you need are three lines to be understood. #33 in Poetry on August 23, 2016 Copyright © by Nicole Suarez. All Rights Reserved.

One look at Ethel, and you can't help but stare at her. It's not her beauty that catches your eyes, it's the burn scars that cover parts of her body. There are a few that don't gawk at her, mainly her family and Zeus Miller, the new guy in town. Yet, with those scars, daddy has made some precautions against the bullies, and if anyone dares to hurt his baby girl in any way, he's not afraid to use it.
