Being His Oracle, Not Muse: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

She likes being an/
oracle. Is that eas’er/
than being a muse?
Or
She likes being his/
oracle. It’s less scary/
than being his muse.

Does My Brain Think In (Just)Haiku? Romantic ConTEXTing Sonnet

When the mood is right,/
and his brain works in time,/
he takes delight/
thinking in verse and rhyme.

He gets inspiration/
from many a source./
There’s no frustration/
as creativity runs its course.

His brain thinks aloud/
in a myriad of forms./
what others see through a shroud,/
he views as the norm.

As he views life and thinks upon it,/
he can write haiku, free verse or sonnet.

He wondered how she/
felt, deep, about being both/
muse and oracle.

It is silly to/
shop at stores that don’t carry/
what you’re looking for.

It’s the simple things/
in life which bring joy, like the/
rhubarb hat fan club.

She sat on the couch/
with me, smiled, and said: “Maybe!”/
Do I wait? Or ask?

When you’re on Facebook,/
you can get compliments from/
beauties you don’t know.

I should probably/
say something on beauty, but/
that’s superfluous.

I stand, trying to/
give up my sin, alone. I/
should give it to Him.

Service calls to us/
in different types and times./
We must be ready.
