2 a.m. Phone Calls: Romantic ConTEXTing Rhyming Haiku

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

Staring Into A Void: Revolutionary Haiku

She stared into/
her void. Her guide had never/
seen such emptiness.

She stared into/
the void. Guides never saw such/
possibilities.

Justification:/
It’s never as good as you/
honoring your word.

Your mind machin’ry/
runs no matter how you think./
Take time to break gears.

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.
