Question: What do you think of 'Mary, Bellydancing' poem!?
Mary bellydanced down the aisle
Of the church on 57th!.
Mary swayed her hips, made men smile!.
Onsets of fainting from dour wives!.!.!.
Who was this woman, tinkling bells!
In spite of the sacredness
Within statued neglect of hells!
Invectives were many!.!.!.hell's bells!
Mary let drop the Seventh Veil,
Proceeded to read from text!.!.!.
Minister bolted at first 'Hail!'
"Preliminary findings fail!.!.!.
"Have for many a century,
To justify joy and glee!.!.!.
How about changing this dullness
Towards a fulfilling religion!? Agree!?
"For God so loved your world, He gave
Laughter to you!.!.!.to enjoy!
Yuk it up, laugh it up! And when
Temptation arrives!.!.!.smiles will
Destroy!"Www@QuestionHome@Com

An acrostic(ation) with a powerful message!
When you write a poem like this, I have to read it over and over!. You have a very delicate pen that describes spiritual, social, and historical concepts/events!.
"Have for many a century,
To justify joy and glee!.!."
Powerful!.!. Excellent read! TY!
edit : And yes, Hell 's bells!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
My belly dances when I laugh!.
I've told Mary to stop doing that, but obviously to no a-veil !
Maybe Mary needs to start up her own church - I am sure she will get packed houses each Sunday!. Jesus was Middle Eastern - he would have seen such performances!. Mary Magdalena used to be a "Private Dancer" until her conversion!. There is a place for joyful dancing "as unto the Lord"Www@QuestionHome@Com
When executed properly, a belly-dance is not only entertaining, but a thing of beauty to see!. When done improperly, the entertainment turns pornographic in nature, and is still a thing of beauty to see!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
You would not have done well living in Salem! lol The feel good church does look like it would be fun! Great line!.!.!.'Mary let drop the Seventh Veil!.'Www@QuestionHome@Com
