There was a canoe,/
empty, at sunset, waiting/
for you two, and beer.

Teach A Man To Fish Starvation: Revolutionary IMprov Haiku
You may teach a man/
to fish, but if he won’t go/
where they swim, he’ll starve.
What Would It Take Weekends: Romantic IMprov Haiku
What would it take to/
be the man with her weekends/
and for forever?
Waiting Her Out Purity: Romantic Email Sonnet
While waiting for her /
to maybe call,/
I hope she’s as pure/
as those who have no gall.
She’s playing with me,/
but I don’t mind./
For a good woman like rubies/
is usually hard to find.
Of course her name/
could belie her personality./
Maybe it’s just a game./
Maybe she’s just BSing me.
Only by waiting her out will I ever discover/
beyond any doubt if she’d be a purifying lover.
It’s In Her: Revolutionary IMprov Haiku
My daughter: Before/
she ran with wolves, she danced with/
salmon, spied turtles.
