HER:
Would anyone mind
if I composed this profile
wholly in haiku?
As you may suspect,
I’m a little different
from most girls you meet.
Gifted in music.
If you want to fall in love,
make me sing to you.
Are you self-assured,
thoughtful, witty, chivalrous?
We might get along.
HIM:
I don’t mind. In fact,
haiku is liberating.
Your beautiful voice
chooses syllables
that any perceptive man
would find intriguing.
Already I hear
an echo of your love song.
I am listening.
I would be honored
To learn how to make you sing.
I promise respect.
