This dates from early 2006, when GERD was the word...
Indigestive Haiku
I
i lie here awake
now my stomach tortures me
churning endlessly
II
i can barely breathe
the acid climbs and won't cease
all i feel is pain
III
why did i eat that
when I know it brings me pain
anger makes it worse
IV
now my brain joins in
overload of stressful thoughts
my goals never met
V
restless endless nights
sleeplessness my constant foe
i think im going mad
VI
pain just grows and grows
im taking purple pills now
they dont seem to help

Loved the haiku!! Not a fan of the indigestion. I hope it was just a temporary condition.
Haikus! Do you mind if I use them as samples for my eighth graders ;)?
Heehee, seriously, though, I kind of blogged about the same thing today ... must be something in the air ;)
Enjoyed the haikus
Pathos and self questioning
With a dash of salt.
Sorry, had a hard time thinking of a last line. Haikus aren't as easy as you make them look. Here let us try again:
Your haikus are great.
Our brain is still choking down
disturbing insight.
I love me a good haiku. These remind me of the book A Confederacy of Dunces. The main character Ignatius Reilly always had problems with his valve. For some reason the term valve cracks me up.
I dig your quote. I was singing Mr. Roboto at the top of my lungs just the other day.
This concludes my borderline incoherent rambling comment. Thank you and have a good day.
Kari...I love a good rambling comment. And you said borderline. He he!
Picklope - Thanks for the comment!
Your haiku chops are wicked.
Glad you could stop by.
KLo - I tend to think it's something in the stomach...but yes, you may use them as examples. I'm always a fan of education.
Daisy - It's a perpetual condition, but it's finally well controlled. 2006 was a good year for acid erosion.
