Why Does Her Name? Romantic IMprov Haiku

Why does her name sound/
familiar? Why does it call/
like distant water?

It is unfair to/
post pictures of beauty. How/
can we get work done?

You can’t tell your heart/
who to love. You can only/
remind it: You don’t.

If she’d only fall/
for me, just think of all the/
poetry she’d get.

She sought better for/
herself than what I offered/
right then … so she left.

It didn’t happen/
with me, because of me, or/
to me. I feel good.

Hell hath no fury/
Like a woman scorned,/
And life knows no pain/
Like a poet ignored.

Thou who hast stomped and/
crushed my heart, when hold we our/
next business meeting?

Where others may see/
anger, I see tenderness/
and open caution.

When we learn that we’ve/
come home, it’s often because/
we’ve opened our doors.
