You Suck! Romantic Written Haiku

Because my phone (where I usually write my ConTEXTing Poems) was without battery, a friend suggested “Use a pen and paper instead!”. She gave me a challenge to write 10 poems in 20 minutes. I didn’t do it… but it was a reminder of how we can let technology stiffle our creativity because we don’t have the right “tools”. The next 6 poems (or so) were written while my phone battery was dead.

Perfect Ecstasy./
Your ability astounds. /
Don’t now turn your head!

Sucking: Romantic ConTEXTing Haiku

Praising me, she says/
I suck the marrow from life./
Missing her sucks, too.
