Comment from Liz O'Neill
This has great tongue-in-cheek humor. It clearly elicits a gallows guffaw for this cautionary tale. the use of a word with a b is very effective. I've learned when we pronounce a word with a b in it creates a little explosion in our mouth. There is more but this is enough. Good job

Hi Monique, Ha ha, Yes I am glad you got my point and hope you stay Flu Free. Cheers Christine
Comment from Bill Schott
This haiku, Fly Away Flu or Free Winter Bugs, brings up that situation people may be facing. Should they overcome the fear of the poke or suffer through the flu? Fun decision.

Hi Bill, Thanks for stopping by and having your flu shot LOL. decisions to be made . It is winter here and many people do get the flu shot and ai thought this might be an appropriate Haiku for this challenge. Cheers Christine
Comment from frierajac
I do like your haiku although it does seem quite existential for a poem that
is usually about nature. However, that aside, it is well written and thought out
and make good sense.

Hi Frierajac, Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my Haiku for the illness challenge and it is a winter bug that gives people a scare. Stay healthy and have a great day Cheers Christine
Comment from aryr
This shorty spoke volumes regarding the dreaded flu and the reality of it. It also presented the preferred prevention method- the shot, the needle and the fear of many who realize the need. Your choice of art work was priceless. It does serve as a good reminder for one to get their flu shot. Great job Christine.

Comment from lyenochka
Lol. Well, I don't have needle phobia but I know some truly brave and buff guys who do! Is it winter for you? It's summer here and we've been struck by a summer cold! Well, at least, it's warmer now.

Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
A well written haiku and so very true. If you have ever had the flu, the pain of a flu shot is insignificant compared to ten days of awful illness, my friend~Debbie
