From 3 Years Ago

It feels like
slogging through muddy swamps
wondering if they're quicksand.

Written This Day Last Year

Tired of slogging ,
like I live underwater--
not like a Bond villain,
like an extra walking the bottom
of a polluted bay.

CFS Senryu

Beyond exhausted.
Coffee hasn't helped a bit.
Damn, damn, damn.

Some Senryu about What I Feel Like Physically Most of the Time

Exhausted slumping

and slogging and schlumping

day after day.

----------------------------

Dowager's hump, 

sore throat, brain fog, body aches --

Jealous of me yet?

-----------------------------

Getting horizontal.

Afraid Dowager's hump

will become my schlump.

------------------------------

My beloved Coffee

cannot help this exhaustion.

Maybe I need meth.

#SpoonieSenryu

Slogging for days
with a brain of overcooked oats,
wishing it was fresh coffee.

Worrying

Worrying:
my mind is a sheep;
my thoughts are wolves.

Retweets

An online friend & fellow Haiku writer found my Twitter account today and retweeted a couple of my Haiku.  Shashi, you might never know how happy that made me.  It's always neat to have what you write appreciated by someone whose work you admire.

And just in case you're curious, here're my tweets!

I slog through another day of quicksand. How many more? #CFS #spoonie

I'm sickly, People. And "Hot Tub Time Machine 2" won't help me forget. #CFS #Whygodwhy #sicklyhaiku

At least when I cough,
I don't feel lonely. I guess
I miss lots of phlegm.

Crapola!

Crapola!  Woke up 
exhausted.  No amount of 
coffee can fix it.  

#CFSME

Exhaustion floods me.
Wave after wave of illness;
treading equals life.
