TJ has a great photo and pair of words for our haiku prompt today!
Melody & Blue
And here is my first response for the photo with the words added. I have opted for the 3/5/3 traditional Japanese haiku form for this first one.
Blue skies filled
With melodious birds
Spring beginsRitu 2017
And one reflecting exactly how I feel right now, using the 5/7/5 traditional English form.
Singing the blues here

First…beautiful. Second…Oh nooooo!!!! Take heart that a fellow blogger is also coughing up his lungs with the “Dreaded Lurgy” in far off Aussieland. 🙂

That’s wonderful to hear, sis! Too little sleep on one side and hectic days on the other open the door for infections. So, get spoiled today!!

Currently am on the sofa, with phone, kindle and Surface around me. Bigging up Bloggers, and reading… One child occupied listening to music, one at cricket with his dad. Yes. I can relax!!! Phew! Thank you!
