A Turkish Cypriot Dancer Comments

Dear fellow-poet Suzan I like your poem. Its repetitions in the end mix the rhythm of the dance with the that of the poem. I am a Cypriot (member of the Latin community, of Italian origin) and I agree with the meaning of the poem, that all cultures can benefit from the blending and sharing. I gave you high grade.

I like your poem and enjoy the wibble wobble of your belly. The repetition is effective. I agree that all cultures can benefit from the mixing and sharing. The last part stirs up the imagination and is memorable

A good one Suzan! Have you read my 'The Belly Dancer'? -Raj Nandy
