Being under the weather can leave people feeling as though they are drowning in a tsunami. The overwhelm can drown you. It took some effort to get up and write this post.
But swimming in a Tsunami doesn't mean that one has to drown. At least, I try not to. It takes prioritizing, a couple of breaks and organization.
Marie Kondo would reduce clutter and break things down, and I chose to do the same today. And I at least managed to finish this post! Enjoy these Haikus.
Large tsunami waves
Consuming with potent force
Drown with raucous strength.
Enormous, powered
Ride the wave that first consumes
Make the wave smaller
To swim, exhausting
Ride rogue waves with broken time
One wave at a time
Waves come in stages
Plough through the tides one by one
One step at a time.

I try not to drown too. Loved your set of Haikus!
Interesting take on this phenomenon.
