How I Want To Be Loved: Romantic ImproVerse Rhyming Haiku

I want to be loved/
for what I think I can be;/
how she believes me.

What She Wanted: Romantic IMprov Haiku

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.

If I don’t have time/
to listen, I can still pray/
And hear as I go.

God knows what we need./
We pray so we understand,/
deep, what’s best for us.

TURN OFF YOUR DUMB PHONES!/
I’m trying to learn to be/
a better Christian!

I wasn’t going./
Then I recalled her kind smile/
and how she wears hats.

Bone of my bone,/
conceived of/
our joyful response/
and laughter/
over an indie film/
proves we’re not the title.

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

Violets are blue,/
roses are red./
I’ll get to know you/
And what’s in your head.
