Haiku Lament Doesn’t Apply: Romantic ConTEXTing Rhyming Haiku

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

Seattle Ragtop Rain: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku

What’s worse than ragtops/
in Seattle? Having a/
bad mem’ry in rain.

In being told to /
clean up the cheesed kitchen, I/
am, myself, cheesed off.

She suddenly and/
completely would vanish, and/
I never knew why.

Someone hurled under/
his bed. It wasn’t found ’til,/
fin’lly, life moved him.

“Do you date?” she asked./
Like a beaver dam breaking,/
“Yes!” let her move on.

Maybe I avoid/
you the way that a moth should /
stay away from flames.

I want to know how/
to cure my Pavlovian/
response. Never mind.

Conjecturing what something’s about
won’t tell you what it’s about
until it comes about.

And once you find out
what it’s about
give me a shout
and we can talk it out
(’cause you’ll know what it’s about
without
a doubt).

Roses pink, red, white
and yellow bloom in my yard.
Memories of you.
