It’s time for another haiku tree! And in keeping with the season, a virus laden themed one.
Here’s how it works:
You can add a branch to the “trunk” of my haiku by filling in the Leave a Reply box at the bottom of the page with you own haiku, pulling from a word, phrase, or idea, in my original poem.
OR
You can branch off from someone else’s haiku by clicking on Reply by their name, and building your haiku around a word, phrase, or idea THEIR haiku inspires.
Have fun with it, and feel free to diverge from the flu-addled theme, this is just where it starts, who knows where it will go…
Oh, and a primer for haiku newbies – its a poem in 3 lines:
5 syllables / 7 syllables / 5 syllables
It’s that easy, not even any rhyming!
Here we go!
the bustle of life
halted. curled up, fuzzy socks.
snot-filled solitude.
Dear Val That’s how I feel. Love It!!!!
curled up solitude
warm microfibre fleece sheets
teddy bear soft wrap
pain bridge over nose
under water filled red eyes
river of mucus….
kleenex please
Sleep-starved elusive
coughing in the dark – drowning
The Watching Clock ticks.
Snow blowing cold out
Viruses spread fast within
God, I hate winter!
God I hate winter!
Stripping naked in sunbeams
Vitamin D starved!
Vitamin D starved!
Spring then Summer will arrive
Lion into Lamb
stripped bare in the sun
glorifying in its warmth
winter ain’t so bad!
Stripped bare in the sun?
In the middle of winter!
Embracing frostbite?
true blue polar bear
dipping bare in cold water
embracing frost kiss….
Canajien, eh?
why hate the winter?
waste of time and energy.
its beauty glistens
This season glistens
With snow and ice and mucus
Beauty in all forms
M.
It’s just how I feel
An Epiphany
Life is too short to worry
Life is just too short
To be busy all the time
Stop a moment…breathe
Head. New York Sewers.
Crank out the Salabat tea.
