Stick her toe in dating pool’s water.

Call Sleepy No Call: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku Lament

She says she wants to/
call and talk. Next, she texts she’s /
sleepy. “Goodnight.” What?!?

Ev’ry hot blonde has /
a penchant for breaking hearts. /
She can not help it.

The danger of long/
email romances is that/
words easily woo.

I texted too early;
my mistake.
I don’t know, surely,
when you wake.

You claim you need coffee?
Please, call me!

Why needest thou coffee?
Thou shouldst call me
and certainly
see
how gently
and slowly
I would wake thee!

If I move the phone/
away from my head-hands-heart,/
I can sleep better

Like box canyon views,
nothing seems so distant as
close by and ignored.

She who craveth not/
intensity will prob’ly/
never handle me.

I thought breaking up/
through email was awful. No./
Silence is much worse.

When you are jealous,/
I talk it out. When I am,/
you leave me hanging.
