Not Wearing Church Shoes: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

He’s not wearing church/
shoes, but he’s still in church, so/
who is complaining?

No Spiritual Books: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

There are no books which/
are spiritual. We must/
ponder, apply, do.

“It is finished!” was/
not a sad quitter’s cry, but/
a shout of triumph.

Hot springs rock stacking:/
Pile stones really quickly or/
your hands will get burned.

Why do I rush on/
a scenic trail? Because I/
want to know I can.

How awesome is it/
to drive, topless dancing, near/
Lehi’s Roller Mills?!?

It’s cool to drive and/
dance, Footloose and topless, near/
Lehi Roller Mills!

I heard the sad news today:/
You’ve gone to play with your friends./
I hope you find the blues way:/
The love town where music never ends.

In your honor I’m gonna eat/
A mess of grits and stuff./
You left us behind on Beale Street/
‘cuz our blues ain’t yet good enough.

I’m sure that Etta’s waiting./
Jellyroll and Stevie Ray, too./
I’ll bet Lucille’s anticipating:/
All tuned up just for you.

May God in His grace, knowing who you are,/
See your smiling face, and make your harp strings a guitar.

RIP
BB,
and be
Happy
playin’ with your friends
again.

Why dread leaving me?/
That gives me one less woman/
to worry about.

He knows they should talk./
He’s afraid. She always had/
that late night effect.
