P-A-D challenge

I just found out (via the Writer's Digest blog) that April is national poetry month. Hey, who knew, eh? Well, now I know ... and what's more, they've issue a poem-a-day challenge. Never one to resist a good challenge, I'll be posting a poem every day this month. The rules say it doesn't have to be great, just original and new (in other words, nothing I've worked on before). So no critiques, ok? At least not until I've had a chance to revise and polish them in May.

Here for your reading pleasure (heh ... kidding!) is the first entry. "Write what you know," they say, and so:

April 1 poem: haiku

hacking and coughing
bug season is in full swing
give me meds right now
