VIrtual Hugs: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

When I can’t be there,/
let my spoken and written/
words wrap you in hugs.

Getting hugs we need: A revolutionary IMprov sonnet

An eternal question: Why is it so much easier to get the hugs we want than the hugs we need?

The hugs we want
come from our greed;
which is more easily seen
than the hidden what we need.

Our greed is exposed
with a yell and a shout:
“Give me something NOW!
I can’t do without!”

But the need doesn’t show;
it in our shadow resides.
And even friends don’t know
what we choose to hide.

But sometimes someone with vision and clarity
hugs us, seeing what we’re afraid for them to see.
