en

garde

we invite

and engage

in our assault

a clear ballpoint slash

parry first…………………and I insist

….you disengage…………………..………. .I intercept

a mere platonic clash

. .bouton to battle……………………………………….know your forte

advance–balestra-lunge………………...………………………meet deception

colliding reprise………………………………………………………….a point in line

and here's yet another ..... priority touché

these are a few
of our bout
presentations
in phrases
and wordplay

for that
I thank you

my opponent
friend

salute and enchanté
