Getting Ready: Romantic ImproVerse Haiku

It will be a strange/
day when I am ready at/
last and she is not.
Or
Will she feel strange and/
odd when I’m at last ready,/
but she is not close?

Language Barrier: Revolutionary ImproVerse Haiku

It’s not that we’re not/
speaking the same language, but/
that we’re not talking.

Mother’s Day started/
as a world-wide petition,/
by mothers, for Peace.
Or
Mother’s Day started/
not by Hallmark, but mothers/
to establish peace.

I so often will/
substitute “she” for “you”, but/
she* knows who I mean.

*you know

Having not heard from/
you and then fin’lly hearing,/
I’m glad you’re not dead.

Now that I have left/
my tracks all over your phone,/
I just feel foolish.

How can I tell you/
I’m happy just being Dave/
when that is a lie?

As I suspected,/
leaving you a message left/
insufficient time.

Sometimes you just need/
to get out to discover/
you need to get out.

My brain’s gone into /
hyperdrive mode. I can’t stop/
thinking about *you.

*her.
