Alter ego
A duet of permeating
balances – can we opt
and choose. As brown
as berry her solo feat-
ures blend so well.
Telltale
Her style of choice
for an evening out –
can we opt and dodge.
As keen as mustard
she taunts thus with
blazing stare. Sun-
down observes her
chewing the cud.
Peace-maker
Trouble-baker
Brain-teaser
Thus enigma
-Woman-

“Sun-
down observes her
chewing the cud.” For some reason, those lines made me laugh and think of a tobacco chewing hillbilly from the south. Don’t ask me why? Lol! A fine write Sanaa! Hugs!

Ha, nicely done. I love that your kennings formed a list at the end, culminating in the summing-up: Woman. (‘Summing-up’, I realise, must be an old kenning.)
