Haiku Friday: Illness

 


I'm working through my second round with COVID, and it's not much fun this time, either. Yesterday I taught my 1L's via Zoom and... well, I wasn't very good. But one thing I love about our students is the grace they extend us.

So let's haiku about illness this week. It's kind of a strange thing, if you think about it-- these tiny little beings, too small to see, occupy your body and make you feel terrible. We often imagine the threat of huge monsters, but it is the smallest ones that hurt us.

Here, I will go first:

Getting better now
Not so woozy babble-ish
Go antibodies!

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun!

Comments:
Rest, rest, rest is best!
With a pillow 'neath his head
Put this bird to bed!
 
Not an infection;
no longer a death sentence;
exceedingly rare.
 
Autoimmune non-
sense. Awakening weary;
exhausted by night.
 
Maybe chicken soup
Covid, covid go away...
Will cure what ails you
 
I so wanted to
write a good haiku this week
but the bugs got me. (Des)
 
Congested, no fever,
Big positive for Covid,
Never really sick.
 
Great Black Crows song
"Room smells like hotel illness"
Bad relationship

His woman found dead
The St. James Infirmary
By Cab Calloway

Led Zeppelin's tune
Sick Again, is not about
being sick, per se
