Following Her Gaze: Romantic IMprov Haiku

She gazes downward/
as if to read her soul, deep./

Hey, Coach! Revolutionary IMprov Free Verse Poem

What if,
instead of losing
weight,
I want to grow more
greatness?

What if,/
instead of trimming
my figure,
I want to expand
the world’s knowledge
and insight?

Who will be
my coach,
my trainer,
getting in my face,
screaming at me,
“Once more.
Once more!
You got this.
You got this!
Push it.
Push it!”

Learning From Willows, Water, Martins, Sunsets: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Poem

Under sunsetted,/
silhouetted/
willows,/
purple martins/
dance/
tandem tangoes./
They ask/
who will join me/
romantically/
on the shore,/
to gain more/
light/
and insight/
as the day/
fades/to tender night./

Facing water, west,/
teaches you best.
