Virtual Date Stand Up: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

If you set dates that/
are virtual and no one/
calls, you’re still stood up.

Mere mortals we are/
not. What if we treat each one/
we meet as a great?

My mother’s bookcase/
shrinks from room-sized to notepad./
Her book list explodes.

Every Father’s Day/
there’s one message missing. This/
year, it’s not his child’s.

Saying dont worry/
about you is like saying/
don’t care about you.

In Dutch town they run/
out of fresh buttermilk on /
Saturday mornings.

She thinks that she otter
Stick her toe in dating pool’s water.
Will taking a break
Be a big mistake
As she becomes online date fodder?

The audacity/
of daily poetry has/
overtaken me.

Tomorrow’s parade/
holds amazing potential./
Why then do I fear?
