God’s Way Is Different: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

Why do we care when/
we’re different? God wants us to/
be. Satan doesn’t.

Dad’s Still Responsible: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

Though my kids are grown, /
I can help them recognize /
spiritual feelings.

Whether Requiem/
or primary songs, music/
uplifts and strengthens.

Singing in public/
is not part of our culture./
I’ll make it my part*.
Or
*Maybe I’ll make it.
Or
Maybe it should be.*

When folks hurt others, /
it’s not because they mean to./
It’s they just don’t care.*
or
*They’re just not caring.

Maybe I wasn’t/
supposed to go there so she/
could find her true love.

She must know that her/
lengthy silence hurts. What does/
it mean? Broke phone? Or…?

Don’t you hate it when/
people kiss and tell about/
you, but you didn’t?

I was wondering/
if she’d like my gifts, but she’s/
done, so I don’t care.

After he’d emptied /
his glands, she only hoped that/
he had washed his hands.
