Day 6 - Haiku

An interesting challenge today - write about my health condition or situation using a Haiku format. I am to write more than one...

And I quote: “[A haiku is] a miniature Japanese poem consisting of 17 syllables – five syllables in first line, seven in second, and five in the last. No rhyme or meter scheme is employed when writing haiku. The aim of the haiku is to create something greater than the sum of the parts.”

Let's give it the ol' British try:

Sleep, where art thou, friend?

Will the weary lids fall soon?

Brain on overdrive.

Every step I take

Reminding me of cancer

Every move I make...

Mirrors in my house

Sending me into shock mode

Laughing back at me

Tell Mom I love her

Will I be seeing her soon?

Who will care for Dad?

Death is but a gate

"Any volunteers?" God asks

The key clicks open

Procrastinator

Nudging, coaxing, I will go

Never mind; bed is warm...

Okay, that was probably some pretty bad chemo Haiku. 5-7-5! Night all...bed beckons...
