Persisting Writing Poetry: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Rhyming Haiku

Dozens have warned me:/
“Don’t write poetry!” Yet I /
persist stupidly.

Persisting Perhaps: Romantic Email Sonnet

Why do I persist?
It’s like this:
You seem amusing,
though slightly confusing.

You seem intelligent
(although
I never seem to know
where you went!)

Your smile, your hair
your face seem pretty.
Yeah, I care
that you’re in my city.

And I will not, unlike lesser chaps,
be discouraged by a simple “Perhaps”.
