Envy leaves no stains The eyes give the face away Jealousy remains

Budgie already said what I wanted to say. This works so well in a haiku. First words of first and third line. I like it.

Thanks, Darren. Haikus can be challenging. One never knows whether they are too simple or too cryptic. I appreciate the positive feedback. JH

So much conveyed in such few syllables! The green eyed monster! Well done!

Ha, Ha. You got it right. I love the intensity that words can bring when juxtaposed against each other. JH
