Stormy Encounter (John Heck's No-No Nonet Challenge)

Around fires of desire -- danced she
Dark-eyed beauty captures his soul
Castanets and stormy feet
Flailed to fiery beat 
Encountered heart tones
Chords--Unrobed heat
Guitar strings
Kissed by
Song

Well my goodness, good luck to you also, Adell and this is surely a winner! It isn't necessary to explain what a nonet is though. People can look it up under Forms of Poetry in the Resources list on the Home page ... smile ... having it at the end takes away from the power of this seductive dance ... hope you don't object to my comment as its given with best wishes!!
