Owning Yourself: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

Don’t be sorry for/
who you are or what you feel./
Own your own feelings.

Why Return? Romantic ImproVerse Haiku Lament

With his spilling* still/
in her sheets, there’s no reason/
for me to be there.
Or
*sweetness

It’s very hard to/
call your daughter and leave her /
a “Goodbye” voice mail.

Can there be a life from/
Death? If it changes someone’s/
behavior, maybe!

Is it selfish to/
tell her how much we hurt? Or/
is it honesty?

I’m afraid her death/
will encourage others to/
follow her dark path.

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

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.
