Other Comfortably Numb: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

“Comfortably Numb” is/
not just drug- or booze-induced./
Starving feels that way.

Read ‘Em and Weep… Or not: romantic imProverse haiku

With dozens of poems/
saying how I feel, why ask/
if I’m mad at you?

She wants to not feel/
guilty. I just want to stop/
feeling hurt again.

There was a goodbye /
with no hug. This feeling of/
silence is much worse.

When you won’t let me/
in, I can’t show you my deep/
and tender feelings.

My feelings have changed./
Like the sun rising o’er lakes,/
I comprehend peace.

She has no feelings?/
She would profane and claim her/
emptiness? Fill me.

Feelings of desire/
stir in me old memories:/
Shame and foolishness.

Feelings of desire/
stir old mem’ries of shame and/
foolishness in me.

Not knowing who first/
rose to see this, I’ll just say/
I’m glad feelings bloomed.

Old songs, sung with deep/
passion and feelings, make no/
sense in new contexts.
