Seek Good No Matter Who Rules: Haiku

It doesn’t matter/
who’s in power. They all do/
good and bad. Seek good.
—Post-election, pre-inauguration wisdom from the Old Woman of the Woods

Though that black pill is/
hard and bitter to swallow, /
I must have more faith.

Your back may scream in /
agony, but poetry /
needs to be written.*

(or)
screams to be written.

Weeding out the bad/
that shouldn’t be there makes room/
for the good that should.

Observational
Eco-therapy is my
tool to help others.

For leg cramps, a friend/
said: “Tonic water.” The cure’s /
worse than the problem.

I wish I could give /
Testimony of Jesus/
like Southern folk: Short.

I have never been/

so grateful to cough hard and/

hock up a loogie.

The ditch which Jack dug/
for a green house long ago,/
is getting cleaned out.
