Avoiding You, Avoiding Flames: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

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

Curing My Pavlov’s Response: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

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

If you set dates that/
are virtual and no one/
calls, you’re still stood up.

Saying dont worry/
about you is like saying/
don’t care about you.

She says she wants to/
call and talk. Next, she texts she’s /
sleepy. “Goodnight.” What?!?

Ev’ry hot blonde has /
a penchant for breaking hearts. /
She can not help it.

The danger of long/
email romances is that/
words easily woo.

I texted too early;
my mistake.
I don’t know, surely,
when you wake.

You claim you need coffee?
Please, call me!

Why needest thou coffee?
Thou shouldst call me
and certainly
see
how gently
and slowly
I would wake thee!

If I move the phone/
away from my head-hands-heart,/
I can sleep better

Like box canyon views,
nothing seems so distant as
close by and ignored.
