Flapper haikus.

An assortment of flapper-era haiku from Sarah Rabinowitz.

New me starts today

Oh, how I’ve let myself go

Fetch my workout pearls


Ethel Gregory

Lost five pounds from Spanish Flu

She’s a lucky bitch


Modesty be damned

Chop off my hair and bring me

A looser corset


Harriet, Eunice

Gertrude, Millicent, and Blanche

Are in my girl squad


What in the Sam Hill?

Ethel is hot AND funny?

Pick a lane, Ethel!


Suck it, convention!

I’m going on a solo

Automobile trip


I’m going to wear

My sluttiest knee-length dress

The first time I vote
