belly dancer

she's got eyes like the moonlit midnight
off the coast of a summer paradise.

she's got hips like the tumbling pacific waves,
shaking up a cyclone as she moves.

she's got caramel skin like the truffles you eat,
spotless like the immaculate halls of the king's palace.

she stands before him, the belly dancer,
twisting his frown to a wrinkled smile.

does her majesty know? you daren't ask
'cause the king will have you dead straight.

she's got an ass to murder any man afoot
as she sways; a shiny sword to kill a king...

OMG!!!!! MIKKO! You are officially in my top 10 favorite poets of YWS. Your vast variation of different poems you write and all in different formatting.

Hope you get featured!!! Keep up the good work!

An interesting viewpoint on a belly dancer. Being one myself, I never thought of it that way before. Your title certainly snared my attention, as soon as I saw it. I never expected to read something that puzzled me and made me think so much. Very nicely done. I like your free verse structure, it suits the focus of your topic. A couple of phrases have me a little confused, but that may also be my sheer exhaustion crippling me.

means...what? Something about the queen, I'm assuming.

Very well written. I like it!

Yo Mikko! Wow, just...wow. XD I really really like this. The one tiny problem I have with this is the repetition of "she's got," I've never really been a fan of the whole repetition through every line thing, but it's nothing but a personal preference. The imagery in this just turns it into something completely unique; you definitely have some beautiful lines here. Overall, this is just great.
Keep writing,
