you probably remember the huge response we got years ago with “Haiku-betes”

Haiku-betes

[image] 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

and the more recent

Diabetes Haiku (a.k.a. Haiku-Betes)

I’d like to invite everyone to compose some haiku on the topic of diabetes. For the sake of simplicity, here’s a straightforward definition of haiku: A form of Japanese poetry consisting of only three lines. The first line must contain 5 syllables, the second line must contain 7 syllables, and the third line must contain 5 syllables. Ready, set, go!

Keep the poems going, whatever the form! to quote from Our Values:

“Creative Expression
We see creativity as a catalyst for emotional healing and raising diabetes awareness. This means you may choose to participate writing, posting videos, photos, drawings, music, etc. to express yourself.”
