Doing Something: Haiku

Why do we think that/
not doing something means not/
doing anything?

OR

Why do we feel that/
not doing something means we/
don’t do anything?

OR

Why do we think that/
not doing one thing means we/
should do nothing?

What A Real Good Parent Looks Like: IMprov Free Verse Poem

Telling your kids
you need time
let’s them know
you are human;
you have limits;
you have feelings;
you struggle;
you work through issues;
you need to think;
you do self care.
 
It gives your children
permission
and encouragement
and guidance
and the example
to do the same
for themselves.
 
It says to your offspring:
I’m not perfect;
I don’t know everything;
I can’t solve the world’s problems;
and it tells them
they don’t have to,
either.

Guilty Of Less Love: IMprov Free Verse Lament

Deep in church,
that moment when
you realize:

Your heart is so filled
with frustration
and anger
and I-wanna-pull-my-hair-out!
toward the world
and those who might disagree
with you
that you forget
to love Jesus Christ
and you forget
to love others
and you forget
to share His love
with others.

Sadness.
Refocus.
Then resolve.
Then do.
