    Spinoff: Haiku About Bellydance History

    Oft misunderstood
    Born of many origins
    Has used up my cash

    Beaded fringe scatters
    Sweat, tears, jealousy, drama
    Who used my lipstick?

    Woman of intrigue
    Veiled in superstitious tales
    She's from New Jersey

    ____

    And now you.

    Just realized this should be moved to The Rest. How do I do that?

    The standing dancer
    Encompasses emotion
    Embodies music


    Like that?

    Sol Bloom, vaudeville mouth-flapper
    This is all his fault, you know
    O, what hath he wrought?

    So tight, this new bra
    My breasts like poached eggs beneath
    Hope those hooks hold up

    "Can you do this show
    For fifty bucks?" Yes, if you'll
    Line up and blow me

    The sweating drummer

    glitter children fly
    to new homes of love and praise
    I feel sad and free

    my haiku about selling most of my costumes.

    With origins lost
    To the sands of time, we now
    Dance our history.


    * * * *

    Lesson one: Learn this
    Safety pins hold together
    All our dance costumes.

    Thanks! The second one was definitely inspired by the realization that behind many beautiful dancers is an arsenal of (usually diaper but also safety) pins.

    I put a haiku version of bellydance history on the "5 sentences or less" thread.

    Is it too weird that we were both thinking about haikus at the same time? ..g.:
