How She Could Propose: Romantic IMprov Rhyming Haiku

Were she to propose/
to me with verses tawdry,/
I’d accept quickly.

The Romantic Of Words: Romantic IMprov Haiku

She said I’d reject/
text proposals, but what’s more/
romantic than words?

There are times when I/
meet tempting, fiery women/
who are just teases.

Hunting show hosts will/
always yell “beautiful ____*”/
after they’ve killed it.

*bird, buck, thing

Hunting show hosts will/
yell “beautiful ____*” after/
they’ve killed it. It was.

I wish the purple /
martins had migrated. They/
missed a great sunset.

I hoisted a glass/
of frothy red juice toward/
the West, her saucy.
OR
I hoisted a glass/
of frothy red juice westward,/
t’ward her fieriness.

I see so many dating profiles where people categorize themselves as being a “Hopeless Romantic”. To such women, I wrote this:

Nobody/
should ever be/
a hopeless romantic./
That would be tragic./

Always be hopeful.
Then life’s more full.
Others will draw near
when we’re full of cheer.

The optimistic me
is who women would rather see.
And it also is true:
I prefer a hopeful you.

It brings me heartfelt sorrow and duress
to watch romantics wallow in hopelessness.

There is little quite/
so strange as seeing snow on/
purple martins’ roofs.

The late-spring blizzard/
didn’t seem cold, but it still/
turned the lakeshore blue.

How awesome to know/
that, in some way, we are all/
broken, but He heals.
