Germs are creeping up on me this evening 

Sitting in darkness
Dreams crowding my awareness
My germs arguing 

Yeah, I’m feeling germs creeping up. Coughing. Sigh. 

Hopefully, a good night’s rest will reset me. 

A Good Night Haiku

This evening creeps past
My body is now weary
Listening to the wind

I’m fighting some beastly bug. Tis time to let sleep have a go at it. 

Germs are in control 

Germs are in control
Obediently I sleep
Rest eluding me 


Ah, fighting germs again. A slow lingering cough my main symptom, a long with my lack of energy. 

A Cold Overnight 

Each cough 

Self conscious

Creating disturbance 

Where peace 

Should reign 

And then think 

Of the germs 

Launched forth 

Looking for a 

New host. 

A Tanka About Germs

Coal-fired lungs wheeze
Annoyance for all in my house
This crafter of phlem
As springtime rolls past windows
Buoyant blossums show

The Tao Of Germs

These tiniest things
Microscopic, effective
Brutalizing me

Upon my couch

Fighting this illness
Wheezing more than I can stand
Rainfall comforts me
