Flamenco
In fluid sensual journey
reaching skyward
pick fruit from branch
In cascading motion
pause at painted lips
arm descending
toward the ground
fruit escapes backhanded grasp
tossed gently backward
from guitar excited hips
black hair in tight chignon
adorned with large red flower
black eyes mesmerize
radiant gems shimmer
In visage stern, impassioned
crimson tight fitted dress
ruffles to the floor
moves in waves frenetic
to the strums of gypsy chords
feet stomp as if ablaze
energy flows
through claps syncopated
while tales in calo sung
are of gypsy life related

This is just wonderful. Your words evoked the images so clearly. Probably my favourite of your NaPo writes so far... although I LOVE the illicit TV viewing ones!
