A Rose First Blossoming: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

Not knowing who first/
rose to see this, I’ll just say/
I’m glad feelings bloomed.

Reaching With Morning’s Longing: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

With morning’s longing/
I reach out for you. I just/
can’t stretch far enough.

With morning’s longing,/
I reach out for you. It’s hard./
You’re too far away.

If cell phones had been/
invented then, Joe’d get such/
pics from Marilyn.

She’s been solo for/
so long, she can’t fathom how/
low silence brings me.

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

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

Or
Tonight, at dinner,/

I’m leaving today/
for Amsterdam. Come you may;/
at least, if you can.

We can leave today/
for Amsterdam. We’ll go Dutch./
At least, that’s my plan.

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.
