In my Day 16 post, Unrequited #1, I said I would attempt to also write haikus for the remaining two men in my memoir-in-progress, tentatively named Unrequited #2 & Unrequited #3. But tonight, it occurred to me that I only have 5 days left in National Poetry Month to do so!
I attempted to summarize Unrequited #2 in seventeen syllables — not an easy task! If you don’t believe me, give it a try — summarize a love, or any relationship in seventeen syllables. 🙂
As always, if you share your haiku in the comments of this blog, you might win a copy of my book, Life: Haiku by Haiku!
Stay tuned for Unrequited #3’s haiku.

Anyone who shares a haiku in the comments is entered into a drawing to win a copy of my book, Life: Haiku by Haiku!
A heart feels attracted
Alights briefly here and there
Very nearly love
Very nice, Robb! The power of a haiku comes in the last line, and this one is just right.
