Going Down On Fire: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

She may decide: “No.”/
I may go down in flames, but/
I will be on fire.

Or
She may shoot me down in flames./
I’ll still be on fire.

She Said Yes! Revolutionary ConTEXTing Rhyming Haiku

A dream daughter’s “Yes”./
Your son’s request brings flooding:/
You weep tears of joy.

OR
When your dream daughter/
says yes to your son, you can’t /
help but cry for joy.

When she doesn’t look,/
I know that means she’s “busy”,/
or she doesn’t care.

Women worship strength, /
love and caring before they/
kneel at obelisks.

I wrote a haiku/
about you. Then you wrote, so/
it must go. Thank you.

She suddenly and/
completely would vanish, and/
I never knew why.

“Do you date?” she asked./
Like a beaver dam breaking,/
“Yes!” let her move on.

Maybe I avoid/
you the way that a moth should /
stay away from flames.

I want to know how/
to cure my Pavlovian/
response. Never mind.

Roses pink, red, white
and yellow bloom in my yard.
Memories of you.
