making history – Poetry for Change

Her sensuality entrances,
Her movements’ elegance attracts,
Her swirls and twirls riveting
In their quest to be enchanting.

Her steps, stomps, and jumps,
Each emanating from her soul’s
Foray into the unknown, untraditional,
As she appropriates formal steps for male

Adds her feminine flair,
Her golpe, stomp, louder, stronger,
And original, while her Latigo,
The whipping of her toe

Flies through her body like
Electricity, jumping from joints’ stake
To vessels with passions ornate
In their effect on the audience, elate

In acceptance that Carmen will
Live on, in her form, moves, still,
Memory serves , placing her on
A pedestal, difficult to reach as yon don

Your war paint, trying to face
Life with a vigor that today has lost its place.

I’m so thankful for this honor from the FB group, The Writer’s Wave, for their enjoyment of my poetry.

Thank you 😊
