The Famous Legs of Haight Street
These famous legs are a tourist attraction which hang out
of a second story window above a gift shop on Haight Street. They have been
there for decades and attract many people to the area including photographers,
tourists and gawkers alike.
I researched the internet, San Francisco history books
etc... and could not find any information as to why these legs hang outside a
window. So, as a result I decided to either write a poem or senryu about the
legs. I had no creative words or imagination that were publishable that would
inspire me to write a poem so I decided to write a senryu.
Now, what I would like to do is encourage all of you to
write your own thoughts, poems, haiku etc... about these legs while leaving a
comment. Also, if anyone does know the history behind these legs, please
comment.
Here is my senryu:
fishnet and heels
display garrish art
legs or thighs?
