Noncommittal
The phone rang just once.
But still, I knew it was him.
He always hung up.
***
Signature Scent
I could smell his skin.
Perfume of pine and citrus.
A lemony lumberjack.
***
Married Life
He lay on his side.
Pretending to be asleep.
I got up to feed the dog.
***
Opposites Attract
People ask us how we met.
A “meet cute” we always say.
It was really a blind date.
***
That would be a “no”
I love you so much.
But will you love me always?
The silence was deafening.
‘That would be a “no”’ hit so hard 😭
I love these haikus …. They were great!
