The battle of the sexes ( a haiku story of gamesmanship )

because I know more words
than you doesn't necessarily
guarantee me a scrabble victory

is it fair to use distactions
to weaken my opponent's prowess ?
if not okay, then put your clothes back on

some say all is fair
in love and war and scrabble
not sure if that is justification to strip

So here we are again at the table
the tiles are being mixed around on the rack
in front of you as your perfume paralyzes my brain

but i continue brainless and determined
to not let let womanly distractions affect
my play, but it's hard to win without a brain

her moonlit skin
the soft warmth of her breasts
her acid tongue

In Scrabble words mean
Nothing. They are game pieces.
What does haiku mean?

Strict five seven five
Here. I hope you beat her since
Perfume is cheating.

lol!!!

😝 I was just funning with ya. Perfume is a bingo in scrabble, 7 letters! But she cheated when she played it against you like that.

I loved your poem!
