It’s OK Not To Call: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku Lament

You won’t call after. /
I know it seems like cheating./
I feel the same way.

In Your Party Partying: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

At tonight’s event,/
you can wish I was in your/
party, partying.

Or
Tonight, at dinner,/

I love connecting./
She doesn’t. Dealbreaker? No./
It makes progress tough.

When you make mistakes/
and get no response, just hope/
and trust you’re not done.

Old songs, sung with deep/
passion and feelings, make no/
sense in new contexts.

What’s your limit? Your/
magic number? When you reach /
it, how will you know?

“I shouldn’t say this,”/
she smiled contentedly, “but/
that’s the best ever!”

It is soooo tempting./
She is out elsewhere. I could/
interrupt. But why?

We’re a complex blend,/
like Chicken Marsala. She/
hates Indian food.

It just must be so/
exhausting knowing that when/
you’re gone there’s nothing.
