Fortune Cookie Valentines

They say you should
look the words up
when the poem is over.

They say this is
not poetry as if they knew
what poetry was.

To be a shameless
attention-seeker
is that what you want?

A poetry of three lines
is the shadow of a haiku
coming around a corner.

You will suffer self-imposed
restrictions but maintain
cheerful dispositions.
