Powerful To Silence: Revolutionary IMprov Haiku

She writes powerf’ly./
My phone’s battery died. Don’t/
read into silence.

Twere It Me: Romantic IMprov Rhyming Haiku

I see her deep pain./
I know how I would have been./
I’ll help grow her heart.

She need not ask why/
her grandkids act royally./
It’s their heritage.

How can I ‘splain what/
Whippin’ Post felt like on a/
sweaty night up North?

I learned this great Truth: /
Serving in His House daily /
directs me safely.

Dare I pen words so/
long pent up, feelings silenced?/
Too late! They’ve escaped!

We may often think/
we’ve thought incomplete thoughts, which/
aren’t, once they’re written.

Watching my friend dance,/
I felt my mouth’s corners turn/
upward once again.

If you keep looking/
backwards, you will run into /
light poles and stop signs.

Idol worship of/
muse’s pure beauty should not/
be thought idle praise.
