Prompt: Haiku about Illness

Sick

Sitting this morning
Kleenex box right by my side                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Clear blue sky outside

Deep juicy chest cough
Causes family to run
And birds sing far off

I don’t feel that bad
Just wish that cough would subside
Spring just a front door away

Today I will rest
Sitting outside to absorb
The sun’s healing warmth
