I Am An 8

A gypsy dance enthralls the stars into a twirl of rustling hems as women tap bare feet, guitars lift twiddling notes of lore’s anthems along a woodland’s lively fest, where beaded hair glides in thrilled zest to charm night’s hours...to romp away till wagon drifts when morning strays. My destiny number is 7, though I chose my path number 8--- jan 8 rispetto form in 8 lines ------------ Andrea Dietrich's Tell Me Your Number Contest

I just love what you can do with your words. There are several of you here that not only have the heart and passion of a poet but also a very high skill level. Not to mention an obvious love of words. This is a deep love for you this thing we call poetry. That is obvious. Thank you for the exposure of your love.

We are capable of amazing the stars as they astonish us Nette. Such a lively poem of the finest human spirit, women in personal twirl blossom, music and lyric alive on passion's flame, bare feet to earth, naked soul kissing the heavens, beautifull bodies of zephyr's fest...Mmmm...so pretty and wild. This is a FAV. Master Poetess! J.A.B.
