Why Papaw Plants PawPaw: Revolutionary ConTexting Haiku

Their Papaw didn’t/
plant the pawpaw for himself,/
but for future kin.

*”The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.
The next best time is today.”
–Old gardening saying

“When our car misfires,/
we fix it. We should do the/
same when life misfires.”
(Paraphrasing wisdom from the pulpit.)

Folks get blamed for things/
they had no hand in, but God’s/
hand is in all things.”

(Original quote from the pulpit: “A lot of people get blamed for things they had no hand in, but the Lord’s hand is in everything.”)

Don’t get so busy/
asking God for things that you/
forget to thank Him.

Georgia pines may look /

like Charlie Brown yule trees, but /

they don’t make me sneeze.

Sunshine hammock sleep/
by a gurgling creek with a/
faithful dog. Life’s good.
#givethanks

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.

Every evening,
As the sun hides behind trees,
I yawp gratitude.
