Utah Drivers Save Energy: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Poem

Dear Utah Drivers:
The sunrise is grey.
The sunset is grey.
The clouds are grey.
The sky is grey.
The sidewalks are grey.
The streets are grey.
The melting snow is grey.
The landscape is grey.
The rain is grey.
The sound barriers are grey.
Your dirty car is grey.
Your clean car is silver/grey.

You are not saving energy,
nor protecting your battery,
nor sparing electricity,
by driving with your car lights off!

Why I Withdraw: Romantic Improv Email Poetry

You COULD call me and not miss me so much.
My fingers aren’t the only things that touch.
My voice sometimes breaks through the shrouds,
caresses your heart and mind, lifts the clouds.

But now … ?
I’m recovering from the silence,
from wondering where you went.
For when you converse and wonderfully flirt,
then disappear … it’s gonna hurt.

And I’ll need time to recover
before I can again be a lover.

Sunset Beauty Glimpse: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Haiku
