Good Or Bad Writing: Revolutionary IMprov Haiku

The question isn’t/
if writing’s good or bad, but/
if it feeds your soul.

Waiting Canoe: Revolutionary IMprov Rhyming Haiku

There was a canoe,/
empty, at sunset, waiting/
for you two, and beer.

You may teach a man/
to fish, but if he won’t go/
where they swim, he’ll starve.

What would it take to/
be the man with her weekends/
and for forever?

My daughter: Before/
she ran with wolves, she danced with/
salmon, spied turtles.

The wordsmith, struck dumb,/
had no words to respond to/
her emoticon.

Her long departure/
caused him to wonder where she’d/
gone and to do what.

He imagines hugs/
of him, spiritual giant,/
safely holding her.

He wondered why a/
joyful, deep confirmation/
would be a bad thing.

He didn’t know her/
soul, but had the deep desire/
to discover more.
