After adding author Alan Gratz as someone I am following on Twitter, I was inspired by his posts. He posts a morning haiku, always something clever or funny, which I thought was a cool idea. I didn't want to be a total copycat, so I researched other short forms of poetry and found the Fib, a Western form of poetry that has 6 lines, with 20 syllables, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8--each line has the amount of syllables of the two previous lines added together. (It's based on a math principal called the Fibronacci sequence.)
Anyway, I decided to give it a try. I was inspired by my recent bout of illness, which my husband kept joking was the swine flu. (He would call and snort instead of saying hello, etc.!)
Feeling Piggy
Sniff
Snort
Snuffle
No wonder
Everyone thinks
They have the symptoms of swine flu.
