    Interesting what my first reaction was to the image, especially considering Chagall's Jewish provenance. I thought it was a nativity scene! So I wondered, why is Karen celebrating Christmas in April? Well! Moving right along, I love your poem, which like all your haikus, is layered and evocative.

    A descriptive haiku that speaks to the message of the artwork. A thoughtful response, Karen. "staining innocence" is an apt way to express brutality. Thank you for sharing.

    The image begs a haiku but I didn't think to do it. Glad you did.

    Lovely haiku ... the glorious color red, which appears in so many of Chagall's paintings.
