A Nut Back Into His Shell: Romantic IMprov Haiku

Even nuts withdraw/
back into their shells if they’re/
left alone too long.

Social Media Daydream: IMprov Cover Lyrics (Apologies to David Bowie)

Keep your ‘lectric eye on me, babe./

Let your IMs fill my head.

Press your cyberspace-face close to mine, love…. /

Freak out in a Social Media daydream, oh, yeah!

(apologies to David Bowie / Moonage Daydream).

Inserting soft words/

into your cyberspace eyes/

is foreshadowing.

Inserting romance/

words into cyberspace eyes:/

hot foreshadowing.

Being with you is/
not a gift taken from you, /
but a gift I give.

There is a woman/
I’m crazy about. She does/
NOT like third person.

She does/
NOT like royal she.

I never wish to/
stop swaying. It reminds me/
of our slow rhythms.

If you enjoy me/
and my poetry, get used/
to intensity.

My feelings have changed./
Like the sun rising o’er lakes,/
I comprehend peace.

She says I goo her/
when I woo her. I’m cheesehead/
bred, so she melts me.

She, the mistress of/
my muse, slammed the door on my/
creativity.
