Freezing Wind Worth It: Purple Martin Sunset Airshow — Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

Catching a howling,/
freezing Northwest wind can be/
painful, but worth it.

The Pain Of Photography: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

After the pain of/
arctic blasts, hot boiled shrimp smells/
and feels delicious.

It’s Sunny Out! Revolutionary ImproVerse Rhyming Haiku

Sub-freezing winter/
driving, top down, ain’t no thang/
wearing the right hats.

Sub-Zero Glasses: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

Don’t leave your glasses/
in sub-zero cars if you/
want to see clearly.

Polar Bear is Not a Dip: Memories and Green Lake Polar Bear Poetry Plunge (includes Video)

It was, I think
New Year’s Day, 1971
When I stood on the brink
Of a frozen, sub-zero Lake Michigan.

I, then just a teen,
Dove in for the lark
Didn’t know what it’d mean
On the shores of Doctor’s Park.

Now, decades have past,
And I, a much older, wiser man
Have returned again, at last,
To take the plunge while I still can.

So why do I again come freezing
On a cold, sunny winter’s day
With nose running, lungs wheezing?
Because I have something to say!

It’s life’s lesson learned taking the plunge
Decades past, at 10 below
Run in, leap, dive, lunge!
Don’t take it slow! Go. Go! GO!
