Sweet Rhapsody

Crimson dress in rhythmic sways She moves just like a burning flame Her swirling moves, a dance ablaze Sweet rhapsody This rhythmic fire no one can tame Kindling the cadence to amaze As her dancing ignites acclaim The guitar strums ecstatic ways To a dance of artistic fame Her movements glow as music plays Sweet rhapsody -- 9/25/17

Great Estatic Poem, Joseph! She must be hispanic because I danced with someone like that and I married her.

Congrats on your win my friend. Sweet rhapsody indeed -- when such a beautiful red-dress dancer swirls about sending waves of sensual desire into ones fevered mind.
