Being Ashamed: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

People who should be/
ashamed are folks who are bad,/
not those who try hard.

Close By Distance: Romantic ImproVerse Haiku Lament

Although we’re now near,/
for as distant as we are/
it could be Texas.

I wish I could write /
poetry that looks as cool/
as Без названия does.

I just saw a tough /
cowboy in sparkly skinny/
jeans. That seems so wrong.

I’m not too sedate/
to watch the debate. It’s late./
And I’m just too tired.

I’m just too dang tired.

A cheerleader dream
Came true decades later and
Helped me find myself.

The dream of a young
cheerleader came true decades
later and changed me.

When we’re stressed out we/
stress out people we are with./
Can’t we all chill out?

When you know what’s right/
you have to do it despite/
bad consequences.

The emptiness that/
fills my ears is only matched /
by my heart’s black hole.

It’s hard, but I can
accept Packers fans not born
in the Dairy State.
