I am joining Elisabeth from The Dirigible Plum in writing a Haiku-A-Day during the month of December.
Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #29: Christmas Virus
It never seems to fail that every Christmas someone in our immediate family gets sick. This year was no exception. My daughter began with a sore throat on Christmas Eve morning - no fever, but just enough to make her feel crummy and adjust our plans a bit. As viruses often spread, I found myself with the same sore throat a few days later, at the tail end of a family gathering.
Today's double Haiku is about having a virus over Christmas Break:
Today you'd find me
burrowed in Sherpa blankets,
Kleenix balled in hand
head elevated.
stuffy nose, vaporizer -
yearning for healing.
Oh no! I hope everyone is well now. "yearning for healing" is a powerful final line!
