Flamenco

The Flamenco dancer swirled and twirled past me 
her red voluminous red skirt floating
such intensity in her face
I was enthralled with her strength
and proud posture . . . 
her feet stomped in rhythm
to a strumming guitar and tambourines
her hands curved over her head
fingers snapping and hands clapping
O, she was a gypsy proud
I could feel her soul and passion
and I dreamed, could I . . .   
just a girl ever dance-   Flamenco

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/24/2017 7:39:00 PM Constance, I kind of had that dream when I took lessons in flamenco in Madrid. They lasted only one or two times. haha. I just knew I could never really "get it" and the castanets. OH MY. I was horrible. You did superbly with this theme. Login to Reply

Susan Ashley Date: 9/24/2017 7:13:00 PM A lovely write Broken Wings. There's something about how you word every line that makes your writing so beautiful to me. An excellent poem that ends with a bit of bittersweet longing as well, nice touch. Good luck in the contest! Login to Reply
