Esmeralda

her smile
her youth
her grace

‘Esmeralda’

the mere mention of her name
causes envy with its charm
conjures sweet idyllic musings

free as a butterfly
enchanting and hypnotic
exquisite in every way
the dancing gypsy

‘Esmeralda’

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/21/2019 7:07:00 AM Esmeralda is the perfect name for a gypsy; oddly every time I hear it I immediately think "gypsy". Loved the title, the name and the poem.
