Fighting Leaving: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

Maybe the reason/
you’re fighting leaving is that /
you’re not supposed to.

Sleepless In Seattle: Romantic ConTEXTing Rhyming Haiku

Now I’m the one who’s/
sleepless. I guess I awake /
feeling my heart ache.

I awake
and feel. Emptyness.
Ache.
I guess
this is a heartbreak.

With this many red/
flags, should you sometimes just slam /
on the brakes and stop?

Y did she care who/
was shallow and self-centered?/
Y’d both go silent?

You’re never lonely/
once you, like a river’s true/
path, find someone else./

Regardless of source,/
Truth is absolute. You don’t/
require a vision.

Is it arrogance/
to think that getting to know /
me sets the bar high?

When we know the pain/
we cause, why are we silent? /
Don’t we understand?

The knots in my gut/
from waiting and storytales/
are not butterflies.
