Yes indeed, and "lead balloon" doesn't go far enough to describe the reaction.

i like to write things for/about people but never show it to them. sometimes it's more fun if they just stumble across it.

Usually I'm further into the relationship before the muse really starts waking up, but I've got one out there right now, delivered and awaiting a verdict. Based on past experience, I won't be surprised if she likes the poem but still isn't sold on me.

Surely a poet or writer cannot break tradition and not write a poem for someone he or she fancies, can they?

I can say yes, on many occasions and the reactions were never negative.

Oh, I stuck them in a card featuring kittens, and funnily enough, failed to make a copy. Seeing as he's my ex now, they're probably at the bottom of a landfill. Hah.

However, if I do stumble across worthy haiku on DA or otherwise, I will be sure to inform you.
