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 __________________________ September 24, 2017 Free Verse/Flemenco Copyright Protected, ID 942348 Written for the contest, Poems That Paint A Picture - 3 sponsor, Silent One Third Place

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.

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!
