Justifying Your Word: Revolutionary Haiku

Justification:/
It’s never as good as you/
honoring your word.

Break Some Gears: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

Your mind machin’ry/
runs no matter how you think./
Take time to break gears.

A rose by other/
names is only funny if/
you know the old joke.

Her house is tiny./
With secret nooks for grandkids,/
it’s a magic place.

Why look for events/
in the future while you’re at/
a concert right now?

A dream daughter’s “Yes”./
Your son’s request brings flooding:/
You weep tears of joy.

OR
When your dream daughter/
says yes to your son, you can’t /
help but cry for joy.

Don’t expose yourself./
Open your butterfly heart:/
They’ll rip off your wings.

If you won’t feed me,/
allow me in your kitchen./
Let me help you cook.

Strange how memory/
is stronger around heartache./
Remember joy, too.

I remember once/
thinking I knew something harsh./
I only felt pain.
