I Can’t Suffer In Silence: Romantic Blogging Haiku Lament

Yenta made the choice

wish my fingers let me.

Wanting to Ask But Not: Romantic Blogging Improv Haiku Lament

I want to ask her:/
“What’s going on?” but I made/
the pained choice not to.

Just when you think it’s/
safe to open up your heart,/
you learn that it’s not.

It’s now been more than/
24. I’m proud of my/
control despite pain.

Crushed ice. James Taylor./
Jack and Diane. Cruel mem’ries/
in a cold Flagstaff.

I try to avoid
giving out guilt. I have so/
much I’m good at it.

People who should be/
ashamed are folks who are bad,/
not those who try hard.

A cheerleader dream
Came true decades later and
Helped me find myself.

The dream of a young
cheerleader came true decades
later and changed me.

When we’re stressed out we/
stress out people we are with./
Can’t we all chill out?

I know I’m depressed./
My keyboard’s blank and so is/
my dictionary.
