Agnes Krampe Poet Verse

Influenza

It’s a nasty disease.
Infection spreads by sneeze.
If you get it, you’ll wheeze.
Intense fever and chills,
Illness that sometimes kills.

Injected with vaccine,
Immunity is seen.

Andrea Dietrich February 28, 2017 at 6:06 PM I love when they are rhymed. Whoever invented the form should have made that a requirement of them. GREAT job. Agnes Krampe March 4, 2017 at 6:27 PM Thank you, Andrea. I find the rhyming challenging because it's *seven* lines, I never quite know how to handle that with the rhyme scheme.
