Mooning Either Way: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

Do you see the new/
thumbnail moon or is that just/
your middle finger?

It’s Always Your Choice: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku Lament

You’re right. The goo has/
gone. The bubble has burst. I’m/
left standing alone.

His tender voice will/
no longer calm and heal folks/
if they won’t listen.

My tender voice will/
no longer calm and heal her/
if she won’t listen.

When you won’t let me/
in, I can’t show you my deep/
and tender feelings.

It settles like a/
heavy pool but you release/
it with a few words.

I have such great news /
to share, but you probably /
don’t care, so I won’t.

Sometimes when I drive/
I feel like I’m just beyond/
the edge of control.

I want to take you/
in my ragtop to the beach,/
back into love’s reach.

OR
… away from love’s reach.

Flags in my neighborhood/
make me ask why./
Then I remember/
a long-ago September:/
Death from the sky/
and I cry.

Since your parents,
children,
siblings,
grandchildren
are family,
you can’t lose them,
so it’s logical
to dump me.

I thought that I
was more support than that
but you sleep with your dog,
and can’t kick a cat.

So without a doubt,
I’m the one that should be left out.
And so again,
I am.
