Disability haiku

A haiku is a Japanese poem. It has 3 lines. The first line has 5 syllables; the second line is made up of seven syllables; the last line has 5 syllables. I remember learning about haiku in grade school, and I was taught that haiku is about nature. Well, disability is nature. I've always liked haiku, and I thought it would be cool to try to write disability haiku for my 50th post. Warning: I am a horrid poet, so don't expect much! Here we go... my wheelchair rolls down the driveway when I let go I say whoa Nellie Sometimes frustrated Will I ever get a job? I feel its my fault I think I bent back my big toenail; I feel pain It hurts really bad I named my wart Buddy; he's my little friend On my ring finger Its already gray Depressing rainy season Is early this year OK, so know we see why I never post poetry on this blog. It's terrible! Add some of your own haiku in the comments.

    I write haiku, too. In fact, I just wrote a whole school paper this way. (My school challenges us to use different ways of thinking, relating.) Haiku raises my level of intention in written expression. (It's also just fun. A haiku for today...) Sinus infection: sore throat, snot. But, can't smell that my dog needs a bath!
