Hips sway
A proud sashay
Across the dusty common
Every eye bright
Turns to alight
On the curve
Of the calves
Shaped by dancing
The soldiers strut
The women tut
They watch and leer
At the gypsy seer
Whispers flow
The stories grow
She’ll see your future
She’ll cut your heart
One woman alone
The talk of the town
What a lonely life
She must lead

Thank you. It was fun. Belly dancers are so interesting to watch. This dancer represents the tribal style of dance. The poem I wrote in response to watching the Opera “Carmen” for the first time. In love and light Cheryle

Carmen is a bigger than life Opera! To think it was unsuccessful when first introduced.

Thank you. I am lucky. This spring is a Carmen spring. I have the opportunity to see Carmen the ballet and am Lightwalking, for a second time, for Carmen the opera. It will be interesting to compare all three versions. In love and light Cheryle

There is also a parallel between Bizet’s Carmen and the George Gershwin play/film of Porgy and Bess. With that magnificent tune … “summertime”. Cheers Jamie.

Summertime is wonderful a wonderful aria. So many artists have produced their own rendition of the song, including Janis Joplin. I prefer the Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong version, however, I am partial to anything by Louis. I can’t wait to see the ballet and the new version of the opera. Have a wonderful day. In love and light Cheryle

Thank you for the kind words. I tried belly dancing, but my body doesn’t move like that, so I content myself with watching those better at it than I. In love and light Cheryle
