Falling upon rocks

senryu slayers - wotd: sanguine

Falling upon rocks,

the liquid so lively drops.

Boy grins; bloody knee!

[Kerry O'Connor]

I love the musical cadence of the second line.

[Wondering Mind]

blood-red knees from fall
cheerfully confident smiles
sanguine they will be

leave it to a boy
to be proud of a scraped knee
he'll peel the scab off

[Angel Bird]

Great senryu!
With your two first lines you develop a scenario of horror, and only then one finds out the simple truth. Truly well done.
