Haiku Friday: The Dance

 


This is the time of year for homecoming dances. Where I live, you know all about because you see awkward and not-so-awkward kids out and about in nice clothes, perhaps sitting at a restaurant or taking pictures by a lake. I remember our homecoming dances in high school well-- and they were both awkward and not-so-awkward, depending on the year.

Let's haiku about that this week. Here I will go first:

Putting on a tie
Not a normal part of life
An assist from Dad.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun!

Comments:
Enormous fluffy
mums as big as my head. That’s
Texas Homecomings.


 
Never went to one
No self confidence at all
Nor prom. Still bitter
 
I was told someone,
asked me to homecoming, but
alas, a rumor

He never knew I
found out, but I still carry
Memory, knowing
 
We had cotillion:
Rented tux and formal dress.
A high school clown show.

 
Couldn’t get a date
to save my life in high school,
no hoco for me.

Now as a mom and
teacher I cheer the parade,
gasp at the dresses.
