Avoiding Pain: Revolutionary Blogging Haiku

How can I stay glad/
and positive when my girl/
hurts with such deep pain?

Yesterday Once More Tomorrow: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

For my daughter I/
wish it was “Yesterday Once/
More”, and tomorrow.

When we guide our kids/
as they learn to walk, we don’t/
criticize their falls.

“Comfortably Numb” is/
not just drug- or booze-induced./
Starving feels that way.

Ugly cow, fat slob,/
worthless, pathetic bitch is/
what she always hears.

If you voted, then/
complain all you want. If you/
didn’t, then shut up.

I’m still proud to be/
an American. I’m not/
proud of bad choices.

For the first morning/
in nearly 4 years I wake/
with almost no hope.

I don’t understand/
friendships where you withdraw or/
hide when you’re strug’gling.

Illness is not a/
competition about who/
has the worst disease.
