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

VIrtual Hugs: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku
February 21, 2013Getting hugs we need: A revolutionary IMprov sonnet
March 4, 2009An 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.
