Thanks to you, Haiku
Master, Shiki---you teach me
that no discomfort
must cause Haiku and Tanka
to fall silent and voiceless.

Author's Notes/Comments:
Shiki, the great Haiku Master Poet (1867-1902) suffered horribly from spinal tuberculosis. And I sometimes have the nerve to complain about a few bladder spasms.
