"Let us read and let us dance -- two amusements that will never do any harm to the world." Voltaire
Shall we dance again?
Do the Tango in the rain...
Argentina style
A Tango for two...
Heat reduced by cool, white suits
Slow, hypnotic dance...
Today, the word is Tango (Argentina)
What is Carpe Diem? Blog Owner, Kristjaan Panneman, describes it as: "a weblog on haiku. It's a new daily haiku meme where you can write a classical or non-classical haiku on a given prompt. Haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry form. A haiku has three short lines and describes a short moment (as short as the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Mostly a haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables and is sometimes called 'counted verse.'"
I love dance; all forms of dance. Tango, which originated in Rio de la Plata, part of the border between Argentina and Uruguay, is sensual, undulating and captivating to watch. It remains a competition dance floor favorite. More Below!

Tango dance or two...?
Asked the hot bloke on the date
I'll take two for sure...
Buenos Aires dip...
Sizzling dancers joined at hip
Argentina style
Some Food for Thought: Do you dance? Take a moment to contemplate what dance means to you? Love and Peace in 2013.
I would love to hear from you: Please leave me a comment. Thank You!

A Tango or two...? I'll dance with you. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe Voltaire quote certainly speaks to MY heart!
ReplyDeleteTango
Tango is a really difficult dance but wonderful to watch.
ReplyDeleteI love dance, too but I lived it most during the time of Swing... wasn't able to dance the Tango yet!
ReplyDeleteOur oldest granddaughter is a wonderful dancer. What dance means to me is the joy of seeing her excel.
ReplyDeleteHaiku and tango
Sweet rhythms of foot and tongue
Swirls of sight and sound
Cheers!

loved the idea of the heat being diffused by the cool white clothing! Heat from dancing, from lusting, from the hot Argentinian nite!
ReplyDeleteTo me dance is a sacred style of meditating and moving.
ReplyDeleteTango sure is hypnotic, the very word captures the zingy rhythm of life.
ReplyDeleteWonderful description of the dance. And the Argentina style gets my like.
ReplyDeleteI love to dance, but I couldn't see myself doing the tango. Tango is such a sultry and sexy dance; I really think I couldn't pull off the sexy dance moves. :) By the way, I got your comment, maybe they can still add you on the list!
ReplyDeleteWatching the tango is mesmerizing. You sure captured it in you Haiku.
ReplyDeletetango is the favorite dance of my grandparents
ReplyDeletelike your poems; short but meaningful
I only know basic tango...I envy those who dances well..
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy watching people dancing tango. I may not know how to dance it; but I can surely appreciate its beauty and grace.
ReplyDeletei like to know how to tango! seriously!
ReplyDeleteDoing tango is one of my frustrations. I love to learn ballroom dancing especially this one which looks like very sexy and complicated.
ReplyDeleteI don't really dance but I love watching ballroom dancing. Tango is very sensual and the dance is like full of love.
ReplyDeleteMommy Maye
