Pursuit

her feminine wiles
catch his gaze across the room
his lashes curtain

is it possible?
his coyness intrigues her more?
she longs to know him

she inhales, exhales
she gives herself a pep talk
who is this creature?

her approach is slow 
a smile dances on her lips
is it in his kiss?

Diana-Marie, here's your first lesson on poetry. You have a fine ensemble of verses presented. However, these entries should be classified as senryu poems. A senryu poem describes human qualities where haiku poems describe things in nature. Nevertheless, these are impressive writes.
