Tango

Clap your hands for the man who can tap with his feet and hold a rose in his hand Black hat tilted, so slightly; spine held straight In charges a senorita like a bull from the gate Both heads cock-back as he offers her the rose a snap! quick jerk forward clenched teeth, claims it beneath her nose He steps, she steps her leg glides fire down his thigh his hand dances on hot coals travels down her spine Tension of passion continues then builds, until at last a silent guitar heated love has been conquered in a dark, slanky, back-street bar

I like the passion, the intensity, and the drama of this poem. Very well done, Regina!.... The only thing that I would give constructive criticism on, is maybe try to use only four lines in each stanza. Just to keep it more uniform and give it a smoother flow.
