on trips where I bring back gifts/
that I’ll never give.

Troll Tasting Not Wasting: Romantic IMproVerse Sonnet
Well golly Gee!/
And good for you!/
You’re getting to see/
What you wanted to!/
You wanted so bad to go/
You could nearly taste it!/
You would’ve gone with a troll!/
It’d be a pity to waste it!/
Spend your evening with some other/
instead of with me./
Perhaps he’ll be the lover/
that I can no longer be./
And now that your old ticket is free/
I’ll search to discover who’ll go with me*!
OR
I’ll search for another who wants to be with me.

Train Moonlight: Romantic ImproVerse Rhyming Free Verse Poetic Lament
The midnight train’s
lonesome call
awakened me.
Startled,
I looked to see
a bright light
bearing down on me.
I panicked
until I realized
it was again
the damn
full
moon
racing
down
the
window
slats
tracks
to once more
crush
my heart
with missing you
memories.
Silent Good Night: Romantic ImproVerse Rhyming Haiku Lament

to not talk to you today,/
as you say: “Good night.”
Overlapping Evening’s Cloud Blanket: Romantic ImproVerse Haiku
The way the evening’s/
clouds overlapped each other/
made me dream of us.
