Flows between you and me 

The first time we touch.

The northern lights move

As if imitating us

During our first dance.

Strategy Session (7 Haiku)
                
                Questions On Each Line except the last      
                    
Are you ready yet?
Can we get started right now?
Could you take minutes?


Did all teams show up?
Does headquarters have our stats?
Don't we have the edge?


How can we win this?
Might we spy on the others?
May I share my notes?


Shall we close the door?
Shant we keep this off record?
Should we send smoke screens?


Shouldn't we take care?
What if they figure it out?
When will we be done?
 
Where do we have flaws?
Why don't they suspect us yet?
Will we repeat this?

Won't they be surprised?
Would you read back the minutes?
Meeting is adjourned.

He Understands Me (Kenning)

                

                A POEM of noun pairs

He understands me

With my city way
my country game
my welfare purse
my society name

I’ve got government schoolin’
And actress tastes
I’m a fashion fool
With a circus waist

He accepts me

And my laundry mountain
my kitchen skills
my number plays
and medicine pills

my hospital houseplants
my bacteria carpet
my mildew sink
graveyard garden

I accept him

Despite his success ambivalence
façade insecurity
Our height difference
And his wilderness need for me

I love

his heartland family
double decade car
He has a money job
and he's never seen cell bars

What a marriage match we'll make!

By Cheryl Crockett

Polar bear sits by himself
