TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

I encourage you all to express your inner most diabetes experiences in the ancient artform of Japanese Haiku poetry.

The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables.

I ask that you please follow the format and keep all poems diabetes related.

Here's my example:

Error 3
Blood drips from the thumb
Touch strip early error tells
Meter not ready

Tags: haiku, poetry
