    You have accurately described a nurse’s plight. However, it is considered bad form (for a nurse) to wince outwardly. Be that as it may, your choice of the word ‘wincing’ is spot on!

    I can relate to this as my daughter’s Catahoula has been attacked twice in Vermont when she scrambles under the redundant Maple Syrup factory to investigate the porcupines!

    Oh, poor honey! I can relate — we had one of those attacks the other night with one of our dogs… Painfully good poem.

    I had to translate this first to Dutch … but after doing that I could understand your haiku. It’s a wonderful (painful) haiku on compassion.
