A Cleave poem
In the form of two haiku
| chameleon eyes | independently | |
| mobile with three-sixty arcs | cast images upon the brain | |
| all-seeing these two | chameleon eyes |
How to read a Cleave poem?
Simply:
- Read the left hand poem as a first discrete poem.
- Read the right hand poem as a second discrete poem.
- Read the whole as a third integrated poem.

Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Master of the cleave! I love how the whole flows so perfectly while its two parts stand equally beautiful on their own.

A brilliant Cleave. I had fun writing in this style, but i also found it challenging.
Molly, this is definitely one of the more challenging forms I’ve ever encountered โค
Impressive

This is perfection as both work so very well as stand alone and fit together seamlessly!
