D - Ode to Conjunctivitis

Pink eye,
Stink eye.
Yuck to blink eye.

Goopy eye.
Matted eye.
Why? Why I?


Bad, you say? How about a haiku?


I like pink, I do.
But not in my eyes like this.
No makeup is bad.

So, technically a haiku is supposed to be "a type of Japanese poetry which presents a clear perception or picture of nature." But at least I got the correct number of lines and syllables.

The creativity that pink eye gives you is amazing. Maybe you should have it more often! Remember not to touch your kids!

I was totally impressed that you thought of haiku, but then I remembered your English degree! Eyes are from nature aren't they?
