the bottle rattles
shake out four more glucose tabs
chalky sweet dust clouds
chalky sweet dust clouds

The rollercoaster:
Swoops down, then flies up, up, up.
I hate it today.
Brilliant! Particularly that last one…
I’m with Dena.
“chalky sweet dust clouds” is an evocative line. I can picture it . . .
Sugar going low
Waited too long for a snack
Kiss this day goodbye!
Its time to bike home
Wait, my blood sugar is low
Drinking juice, waiting…
I can’t help myself. Haiku’s are such fun. And all of yours are inspiring me.
This sequence needs to be read in order.
Shame
You can’t do that here.
That is really disgusting.
You should stay inside.
Advice
Here’s what you should do
If you find me on the floor
There’s a needle in . . .
Joy of Running
I’ve just run three miles
And all I can feel is that
My fingertips hurt
Advocacy
Test blood in public
Wear your pump outside your clothes
Let the whole world know
Food Police
Yes I can eat that
Yes, I can. Yes. Yes I can.
Now shut the f**k up.
Moody
This high caused my mood
Or the other way around
That’s why I’m a jerk
Terry,
You are truly gifted at this!
Haiku Community
Tightly crafted lines
Reflecting, in(ter)jecting
The words from our hands
Personal Struggles
Elusive control.
Diabetic pregnancy?
I hope against odds.
For those denied…
Premiums, co-pays.
Insurance, bureaucracies.
Basic human rights.
Terry you are gifted!!!
Friday Dilemma
Morning high choices
Monster bolus an option
Rather exercise
Pancreas still inside
just sitting and watching
asleep forever…
Morning Orange Juice
Orange Juice at night
Diabetic segments
A soft battlefield
Spotted flesh wounds everywhere
Poor little belly
Stop the cookies Now!
Blood sugar out of control
Aren’t they sugar free?
The Tide
Sugar, like the tide
Ebb and flow holding only
My life in balance
betes out closet
community brings hope
together we stand
