Notes About The Poem

Image result for gypsy dance

Five Letter Words

sweet music swing
     gypsy bells cheer
berry wines swoon
     lulls aloft wings 
warm’d honey cache
     slow’d lyric beats
plays fork’d tunes
     sweet music swing

skirt, tango, twirl
     ruddy flame aglow
tests muddy water
     swims under brows
slakes river lusts
     brews vivid scent 
‘round robin crest
     skirt, tango, twirl

Some of these entries are darn good, and this is one of them. The effort is evident and, I think, worth the write you came up with. Yepper, Kim - I think you've got a winner. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
