Safety Versus Pouting: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

I made a choice: My/
safety won out over her/
pouty foot stomping.

Rewriting My Past Scripts: Revolutionary ConTEXTing Sonnet

If I stand
And demand
Certain acts,
Then take others to task,

How am I
The sort of guy
Who is in any way kind?
I am out of my mind.

I often can’t read
What others might need,
But when they misread me,
I pout, and spout anarchy.

It’s not fair nor right
To put others though this plight.
