Sevilla, the evening pins flowers on your hair A pirouette of tasselled gown rustles by Igniting a lusty swirl along theater’s wing, Over spotlights on red liquefied hips That kiss of flamenco gyres into a dance ; Relishing the wine which drips as you lift And tap those feet through moonshine’s gloam: O, such swaggers devour my senses While Latin music sets the castanets ablaze-- Then a pause, a sensuous movement, jigging. Sevilla, you are a luscious pageant of a song, A brief canticle gliding on my bones, that I Fondle you in the dark caressing scented nape: What endless thrill you bring on an August dusk! Then together drunken madly , recklessly I will be love's sunrise, and you my finale's art, As this heart etches a twirl in flamenco sighs, Clinging to each refrain of such possessed trance. For Silent One's Contest: Poems That Paint a Picture-3 9/24/2017 ~ a most memorable dinner in Sevilla watching a Flamenco concert~

Delightful music and beauty flow from this Flamenco offering, Nette. Body movements and footwork are very much in evidence. The second stanza enthralls with sensuality. If the sponsor asked for a painted picture he needs look no further! Hugs // paul

The power of this work lies in its subliminal seduction-- a swagger here and drunkenness there. Exceptional!
