The Carnival

The beats so alive
Her mind found no rest
"Motion", it seemed to screamed
Duluduudotuu, doodotu, duludootu, hit the dramers
Even her head moved in response
The crowd anxious with lit faces
Right foot first, back tilted with face forward- the show had began
Yeeeeeeee, wululuuuuu, yeeeyee, yeeye, clapping and jumping
Was all you could hear
 anticipatively the crowd celebrated her
Even the beads on her feet shook cheerfully
Lower limb straight
Her backside shaked vigorously
The waist seemed boneless as it did the job easily
Duluduudottu, doodotu, duludootu- smiles everywhere some even imitating her moves
She was enjoying herself, cheers almost deafening, she kept on
Swinging shoulders left, right, front and back
She was alive, and the crowd?
"What can one say"
Happily watching.
