It's amazing how much energy can be captured in so few words from the from the rhythm and beat to the wattage of the vibrant colors. Fun, playful poem.

Well this is really a refreshing five/seven/five, and very nicely written with a wonderful presentation. You made feel the heat and passion of Cuba. Thank you.

These lovely Latin ladies really put it all out there when they're doing their dances.
Some of the moves they make cause my head to swim just thinking about attempting it myself.
Huh-uh, not this guy!
Good 5-7-5, perfect syllable count.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

There really isn't anything like dancing to a Latin beat to connect a human to the power of nature and the pleasures of motion.

You've said a lot with few words. Best wishes to you in the contest.

Good

I have always loved all kinds of Latin music and enjoy listening to Cuban rhythms. The poem and the picture bring it all to life. But the image I get in line 3 is vague. May I suggest some rephrasing: Cuban DANCER whirls.

An excellent 5-7-5, drawing up wonderful images.

I especially like the term 'colourful tempo'. Can't place why, but it just struck as a very good use of words.

Very well done.

Take care.

Thanks so much James. The photo inspired the word ?colorful.? I debated over using it, but like you, just couldn?t do without it. Ha!

A great atmospheric write here and I could feel the music oozing from these words! We have lots of carnivals in the summer and I see this sight a lot! Love Dolly x
