Full Moon Midnight Flight: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

I’d never seen a/
full moon play hide and seek ‘cross
ponds, rivers and lakes.

When you don’t have a/
bandage, luggage claim checks from/
last night’s flight work fine.

What if you went to/
visit your friends and family/
and no one stayed home?
OR
and no one was home.
Or
and everyone left?

Folks don’t like themselves./
I think they’re great. I don’t like/
me. They do. Let’s switch*!
OR
*share

I see people who/
struggle with liking themselves,/
yet I think they’re great.

Stand up. Be a man./
Forgive siblings and friends who/
hurt you. Life’s too short.

Seeing emptiness/
in your life means there’s the chance/
for great fulfillment.
OR
to change. Fill it up!

Her hand on his white
shirt back: Painful reminder
Of how much I missed.

List’ning to honor
placed on pioneers, I am
thankful for Mother.
