Recalling Her Thoughtful Night Gaze: Revolutionary IMprov Haiku

Facebook phone showed just/
her hair, face, neck: Enough to/
recall her night* gaze.

*thought

To stand on cliffs, gaze/
at the abyss, fear falling /
is foolish failing.

Stand on cliffs! Gaze at/
the abyss! To fear falling /
is foolish failing.

Her soul felt so much/
pain. We could have learned from it,/
but she stayed silent.

I like when we talk/
because our discussions help/
congeal truthful thoughts*.

OR
*thoughts of truth

Will anyone who’s/
pure, lovely, and virtuous/
want me, who’s been soiled?

If I helped in the/
Creation, I’ll own ‘skeaters*,/
because they feed birds.

(aka mosquitoes*)
OR
*lake bugs,/

If I go to a/
meeting where all are sad, should I/
get sad or lift them?

Though writing’s painful,/
my musings should make you glad./
It shows we’re growing.

My kids could have said:/
“Dad, remember who you are/
and what we stand for.”
