You Live, You Love, You Learn, You Reload (triple haiku)

by Jon-Jacob F Deal

If you love someone
They say you should set them free
I have my own take

If you love someone
Set them free and then shoot them
If they live, they're yours

If not, no big loss
They were leaving anyway
And the border's close

I find this comically appropriate for the dreaded V-day. If you don't mind the suggestion...you may find my work, "No Body, No Murder" pleasing and equally something...I'm not sure what. As for your work, very clever and enjoyable...over and over (I suppose that could sound morbid).
