Sophie walked
fast now
Sure that this
was the last time
She was to be
free
He had not
fulfilled
Her romantic
dream of love
Expectations
dashed
Waiting at the
park
Yet no flowers in
his hands
He looked so sad
now
Before she could
say
Their romance was
at an end
His face said it
all
“Sophie it is
over
You are not the
right one for me
And now you are
free”
She couldn’t even
say
“But I was going
say that”
Sophie had been
ditched
Some may write 'Awww! How sad'
ReplyDeleteNot me. In this excellent set of haiku you have found humour in a romantic 'hoist with her own petard' situation. I like this.
At least it was mutual dissatisfaction.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Not a perfect ending to a relationship, but both can move on. It sucks to be beat to the punch, though!
ReplyDeleteOh I hate it when that happens. She should have ditched him the day before. :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea of poetic forms and consonant numbers but i loved the change of voice and the wry humour..have to say..poor Sophie though..some of us are always just a step behind..jae
ReplyDeleteThat never feels good even if you were planning to do the same.
ReplyDeletesaved her for having to do the distasteful deed!
ReplyDeleteWell written. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery well written!
ReplyDeleteHow funny, feeling the jab even after the relief, poor Sophie. Really interesting how you shared so much of a story in this simple moment.
ReplyDeleteI have three eager children to home-school this year, so my flow has to fit theirs. I will be around to catch up with you. Blessings.
What a clever fellow. Would that more would keep looking instead of settling or trying to change their intended. I'm rather proud of him.
ReplyDeleteI like this one, a lot. Thank you!
