If I only send you emails and chat,
it will likely keep me
from that
vulgarity
that so threatens
the kind of friends
we want to be.

Post Late-Night Haiku Learning: Romantic Email Sonnet
I sent you
a late-night haiku,
and, this morning,
what did you do?
Walked to your desk.
That’s really best:
Stay calm and inert.
Don’t try to flirt.
When starting out,
leave room for doubt
instead of imagining
some grand beginning.
Be practical! It’s only then
you’ll avoid disapointment again.
For This, My Legs Are Unshaven: Romantic Email Poem
First, read my profile.
(It will take you awhile!)
There, you’ll find everything your profile
says you yearn for
and more.
My legs are unshaven.
For this,
for you,
for us
I’ll make no such fuss.
My invite is simple:
Explore, first, a large herb
garden with me,
and then, if you yet have nerve,
take one by land,
two by sea.
Canoe with me
through unsullied country.
You claim “I like slow dancing together in the kitchen …”.
If true,
then I’ll send you
the link to my poetry blog
posting about slow kitchen sock dancing.
And then maybe
we’ll dance ‘neath a tree
or, for fun,
in a snow-filled canyon.
Pity I’m Not Taller: Romantic Email Poetry
I don’t have to act like
I care what you say.
I just do.
I will talk intelligently…
even gently,
because I am
and I am.
You will laugh
because I’m witty,
funny,
clever,
and insanely
humble.
There is no hurry
to lay you down
if I can hold you,
kiss you tenderly,
and listen to you
and converse.
Pity that
I’m not taller.
