Fire Dance

Gypsies dancing at night on the beach.

Fire Dance

 

On nights when the Moon is full,
blazes light the sandy reach
where tall waves in tidal pull
haunt the dunes of Misty Beach.

 

Here's where joyful Gypsies dance
round and round their bonfire's glow
calling forth a mystic trance
while sea breezes gently blow.

 

Tuneful fiddles quickly rave
matching each girl’s twirling toes.
Drumming bellows from each wave
mix with scent of musky rose.

 

Strong notes shake the salty mist
driving forth a dancing surge.
Agile hands that gently twist
signal hints of wanton urge.

I could see this scene unfold before my eyes, 'wanton urge'...oh my. Great dance in your poetry, muchly enjoyed!

Thanks for your review of my one and only Gypsy poem, Frieda! Now we know why gypsy moths have a wanton urge for candle flames.

Fire tends to be quite fascinating to most everyone...and never thought of that. My pleasure.

What a seductive dance ... Your last and final lines said it all . Very beautifully penned. Even the gracefulness of a dancer you captured so well ... I'm very envious of your wonderful mind.... :)

Thanks for your review, Neil! I have a creative mind that finds relationships that stump everyone else. When I was in college, I was the one everyone went to if they got stuck programming in the Computer Room. I'd made computer languages do things that they weren't supposed to do, and in the most efficient way. I was offered a teaching job in computer programming before I had my degree, but I turned it down, for I had bigger creative fish to fry.
