Bob Haiku by Meg Pokrass

Bob Haiku

Bob in Nice Dream

Fresh-faced sweet Bob from
sexy dream, promising to—
My alarm clock rings.


Solution Too Late

Bob says, let’s get hitched,
move to France, go all Buddhist.
You died last year, I say.


The Cat’s Meow

Past the good tables
Smiling in the cat café
Bob with a cold sore.


Starbucks Discovery

Slurping espresso
Divorced Bob going nowhere
like hair lost in soup.


How I Lost My Bob

They looked sweet, kissing
Near the gladiola tree
Bob and his friend, Bob.
