Fatherly Love Lacking: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku Lament

At some point a few/
dads learn that fatherly love/
just isn’t enough.

She Asked: "Does Dying Hurt?" Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

Of course dying hurts./
The hearts of those who love you/
*are ripping apart.
OR
*are in agony.

So many times I/
stood in the coach’s box and/
waved you home. Now, stop!

I wear purple ‘cuz/
I’m pissed and helpless and there’s/
nothing I can do.
OR
I wear purple ‘cuz/
I’m pissed, helpless and can’t pay/
for her burial.

She promised me that/
we would attend the Temple/
again. Did she lie?

Does every father/
wonder if he’ll ever see/
his daughter again?

I wear purple for/
my daughter because I have/
fashionista friends.

What if the reason/
I want to meet her is not/
because of her face?

When you finally/
gaze at clouds through rose-colored/
glasses, they look cool.

Ten lengths swum, three run/
in between. Sad. I’ll improve./
I’m my own drag suit.
