Haiku Friday: Dancing!

 


Yes, Thanksgiving at my house featured kitchen dancing again (pictured above), which is one of my favorite parts of the holiday. I do feel like there is not enough of that in our lives, So let's haiku about dancing this week! Here, I will go first, with a college memory:

I knew a dancer
She spelled out her address
With limbs (and some hints).

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



Comments:
Erstwhile buddy's first
Girlfriend, fondly known (by some)
As "The Nutcracker"
 
On two left feet with
A total lack of rhythm
Trying to stand up

 
Study or disco?
College years spent making that
choice. Yeah. Disco won.

 
Only a few moves
Clumsy enthusiasm
Would love a partner
 
Jimmy Page admires
tune "Dance, Little Sister Dance"
by Jagger/Richards
 
Someone told me to
Dance with reckless abandon
And joy shall follow
 
Ha! Perfect topic (I’ll need to post two haiku). I think I’d love Thanksgiving at your family’s house!

Dancing at my son’s
wedding - “Little bit softer
now,” brings us all in.

The fountain of youth
ain’t in Florida. It’s on
a hoppin’ dance floor!
 
Dancing adventures,
Coming of age at a dance,
Lovely memories.
 
They were born limbs linked.
With no flaw, they sync steps—
Kiss to Glenn Miller
 
She looked like a full-blown rose—
Dancing on toes alert,
Leapt in space ,fearless.
 
She in mom’s sewing, they twist
He high above her,
She dwarfed…Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.!
 
Righteous the brothers croon O
My Love,my Darling
They danced, birthday rose , perfume!
 
Oops! That last line is off two syllables. May be it should be: rose, perfume??
 
I am off today . Sorry—must have been the Pina Colada. I want to bless you for this exercise in haiku. It has made me want to write again. Haiku has cleaned up my poetry considerably and definitely increased its output. So, just—thanks!
 
You are very good at it!!!
