Esmeralda for M lady Astrid

tetrameter sonnet

 

 

 

Esmeralda

 

She danced as though she was possessed.

Perhaps she was I do not know.

Her heels beat out a staccato.

I have to say she was the best

exponent of the flamenco

that I have seen or hope to see.

 She became part of the flow

went with the music totally.

 Although it was so long ago.

 I still recall it vividly.

A memory I won’t let go.

until the day they bury me.

Still in my minds eye I can see

 the gypsy dancing wantonly.
