Persian Dancers



I heard how, to  the beat of some quick tune
There rose and danced a Damsel like the moon
Saaid 1213 - 1291

her  kohl shadow'd  eyes
her swan neck'd fingers spelling desire
in the clove scented air


Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

    Very nice all those emotions caught in just three lines. You create a love-haiku as if it was a tanka.
