Her Birthday Serenade: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

On a 6 a.m./
Arizona flight, I’m too/
tired to serenade.

I thought I could sleep/
in until she woke up and/
started yammerin’.

The world was denied/
his creativity just/
so they could converse.

She asked for him first./
She asked for him more. I’m just/
a fill in for him.

If I have no chip/
on my shoulder, she can rest/
her head there, gently.

Why do I worry/
if she likes me? She’s not as/
great as I can be.

With women it’s wise/
to withhold sonnets but not/
such tasty omelettes.

She craves my omelette./
I desire her smile. does one/
lead to the other?

As if to taunt me,/
she sent me a photo of/
where I wished to be.
