Elena, Elena

    
     ~~Elena, Elena~~

Dances Salsa, Macarena and 
the Bossa Nova, till Rio's dawn!
Elena and her love, Bebo, sway 
as she is his adoring, dancing fawn.

Outside, the welcomed raindrops
bring a sweet coolness, to her 
flushed, tanned cheeks.
That to the touch, have a loving, 
velvet smoothness that men seek.

Ah, Elena and Bebo are anything 
but mild or meek.
She dreams of Samba School each 
night of the week!

To march and dance with outrageous 
pizazz!
In the Caraval Parade, with
a sequins aflash.
Add her hypnotic brown eyes and 
her flashing, purple and gold sash.

For Elena, life is her very own, colorful 
and most musical toy.
You'll find her dancing through the 
streets of Rio, teasing the hypnotized, 
mesmerized Bebo.
              ~~~~~~

You have truly captured the essence of carnival dear Panagiota. The heat and the passion flow through your poets pen and the beat of the music is loud and clear. A truly evocative write that took me there too - thank you my friend. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Lindsay, have you ever watched You Tube with Carnaval and all that great music? I play lots of Brazilian music and other styles at home. Brazilian, Bossa Nova, is my FAV, it's so soft and romantic. Glad you enjoyed..Panagiota thank you!
