Preoccupational Muse: Romantic ImproVerse Haiku

I may write about/
other women, but she’s who/
preoccupies me.

Who ‘Her’ Is: Romantic ImproVerse Haiku

“Her” and “She” are terms/
for a ubiquitous fem,/
a wished-for phantom.

Who I Write About: Romantic IMprov Sonnet

Who do I write about?
You know they’re about you.
You may outwardly doubt
but gaze my verse through.

You may argue
and not believe what I say.
I know that you
can’t watch yourself play.

You may deride
and hold my words in derision
and may cast them aside
because you don’t see my vision.

You may not see you that way, but I do.
No matter what you say, my vision is true.
