Three Women + 1

The Story of Three Women (and a wife)


proclamation

my deep love for you,

rivalled only by my love

of writing haikus

proclamation

you can choose haikus

or me, your lover, your love

make your choice wisely.

disjunction

Why! How can I choose

between you or the haikus;

I would die of fright


desperation

please, don’t leave me. I

love your shining black orbs and

perfect smiling face

suggestion

perhaps, we can turn

this hobby of yours into

a collection, hmm?

recognition

yes, finally! I

am recognised for my talent

of writing haikus


lifestyle

perhaps i shall be

speaking in haiku speech for

the rest of my life

grimace

so much love; haikus

take you over. what love can you

spare, really, for me?


proclamation

michelle you are my

one and only, even if

you detest haikus


advancement

i do it for i

wish to become famous, if

only to please you

conflict

i detest that i

have to fight for your love as

you love haikus more

guilt

i wish that you would

detest me more, for it is

i that hath done wrong

grief

i see how it is

you cannot be bothered to

fight, even for us


admonishment

you do not reflect

your haikus drive loved ones out

you will be alone


closure

do not contact me

this relationship is done

i will forget you

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━°•. ✿ .•°━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

a third, mourning

once, i was the babe

once, i was even the favourite

now, i am a husk

descent

i am broken-hearted

this cannot be! how could she throw

my heart away, i am broke

nostalgia

if only i could

be the apple of your eye

once again, today

---

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━°•. ✿ .•°━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

resolution

goodbye my old love

i hope to never see or

hear of you again

reminiscence

my haikus will forever

be one syllable more, because

i yearn for someone lost


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━°•. ✿ .•°━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

nostalgia

sunny, please, please pay

attention to me for i am

starving for your love

rebound

charlotte, can you not see

i have been thrown to the side, all

because i loved my craft

commitment

sunny, can you see

how i will let go of all

just for you, sunny


acceptance

if you love your craft

even more than me, i will

not despise you so


sweetness

for being with you

is all i need to fill up

my empty life

hope

is it as you say?

would you take me as I am?

haikus and all, too

embrace

not despite your poems.

i will take you as you are,

because of them.

proposal

this is a girl who

accepts me fully, haikus too.

Can I marry her?

infidelity

do not forget of

your wife waiting for you back

at home, Kathryn Rhodes

undesired

interloper, you’re

unwelcome in this place of

love and worship

judgement

I will not stop to

hesitate, should you conduct

any sinful acts

hurt

i had forgotten

my past love, who abandoned

me to the wolves. why?

polygamy

dear sunny, I love,

even with your wife at home

for threesomes exist

answer... ?

dear charlotte, I know,

for you are into the thought

of polygamy

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━°•. ✿ .•°━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

voice

i do not know if

your morals are intact, as

Rhodes should have a say

obsession

the wife at home shall

be welcomed into both our

loving arms, agreed?

voice (2)

where art thou consent,

for this affair about three

people in a house?

amused

to miss michelle, she

would be deeply amused by

my very nice haikus

voice (3)

Kathryn Rhodes may not

agree with your hasty choice,

she may not like two

gratitude

i do agree with

you there, i am blessed to have

her choose me at all

obsession (2)

who is to say she

will not? I would find myself

very blessed with two.

voice (4)

yet everyone is

not like you, they may not like

lovers with a mistress


revelation

perhaps i should go

and ponder, you have opened

my two eyes tonight


justice

for my girl at home

also has two shining black eyes

and a perfect smile

temptation

No! Ponder upon

the grace that is two for three

and shall be happy

wonder

Maybe I should be

more grateful for the people

that are in my life

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━°•. ✿ .•°━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

authors note

this entire thing

was written ad hoc, on spot

through some discord texts


the three women were

played by ms michelle, sharlet,

betty, respectively.


apart from minor

edits, no changes have been

made, all og text.


no relationships

were harmed in the making of

this ****post, don’t fret.


thank you Theo for

titling most of these haikus,

they are very nice.
