(In the interest of full disclosure, these haikus were actually written between 3 and 4 am; however, “3 or 4 am Haikus” doesn’t have the same ring to it)

Legs up, stomach hard
I comfort but you can’t hear.
Oh the suffering!

Mouth wide, eyes begging
Teeth? Tummy? Skin? Ears? Fever?
Your cries pierce my heart.
