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

A soft battlefield
Spotted flesh wounds everywhere
Poor little belly

My infusion sets have made my tummy this way too. I am trying to remember to change my sites every three days like I am supposed to. I love your haiku on this problem.

Pile of strips and pods
Slowly taking over my life
Always in my sight

Never away from it
There in front of me it is
