The Final Hoped-For Gift: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

In the end, he thought,/
he always had hoped he’d helped/
them find joy and light.

Cause Of Insomnia: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

Her insomnia,/
maybe, was caused by the fear/
of breaking his heart.

Sometimes she’s awake/
at 2 a.m.. I wonder:/
Should I call her then?

A rose by other/
names is only funny if/
you know the old joke.

Her house is tiny./
With secret nooks for grandkids,/
it’s a magic place.

She may decide: “No.”/
I may go down in flames, but/
I will be on fire.

Or
She may shoot me down in flames./
I’ll still be on fire.

Why look for events/
in the future while you’re at/
a concert right now?

A dream daughter’s “Yes”./
Your son’s request brings flooding:/
You weep tears of joy.

OR
When your dream daughter/
says yes to your son, you can’t /
help but cry for joy.

How fun! I’m jealous/
of grandkids, pool and sun, but/
mostly the puppy.

I wrote a haiku/
about you. Then you wrote, so/
it must go. Thank you.
