ugly truth
wasn't blind enough to see
through to you
ii.
have i lost my shine?
sooner or later, so pales
the pretty picture

Seven haiku based on the speed dating activity during work's planning day
Date no.1:
she sings!
All of a sudden you make sense
One more of 'us'
Date no.2:
you're too pretty
to be interesting
too bad
Date no.3:
I like you
Don't even care if you're lying
Silver tongued sweetness
Date no.4:
I point out
your sense of irony
and win you with mine
Date no.5:
my self consciousness
speaks, stringing a platitude
Words worth at arms length
Date no.6:
I meander an
assessment of you - and undo
myself en route
Date no.7:
you've got balls!
things you don't say to a woman
But I'm man enough
Reflection:
extending to you
I build a bridge to myself
You get what you give
