The Milkshake Haiku (that never ends until it thaws)
Like milkshake melting
from your touch upon cold glass,
heat the heart of me.

Lifting to send me
down tender soul, fast coupling
a dreamer with you.

I would drink you up,
too thick to pass through cup I
grip by eager hands.

In this restaurant,
waitress wonders what I want,
sitting here alone.

Peer her bluest eyes,
when I realize and gulp,
suck the mixture down.

My face forms a frown.
Soft, she hands the bill to leave,
icy in my gut.

So, goodbye to you.
Grab my wallet, settle up,
when you grab my hand.

And then you tell me,
smiling, this one's on the house.
Twinkle in your eye
.
I'm about to cry.
Not a brain but a heart freeze,
stutter my next words,

'can I ask you out?'
Tucking the pad in her sash,
pats me on the back,

"I'm married, but please
keep on coming back, because
your my best patron."

"The next one's on me,
and tell me about yourself,"
when the ice begins to melt.

Abrupt, I took leave,
the milkshake inside of me,
suddenly to pee.

Will milk be my friend
until the bitter end, because
frozen inside me

is embarrassment,
not having done due process
before it warmed?

"when i see your face
Hear the laughter in your eyes
my soul comes alive!"

Fisher aka Kathy Fisher

Something inspired by Kathy Fisher Haiku song which used the form for it's chorus. It had a flow and rhyme scheme, where I have forced a bunch of haikus together with some lyrical intent that really are hard to choke down like that frozen milkshake.
