Responding to the smooth rhythms
I arch my arms
building the pride of my ancestry.
The movement of my fingers
speaks to my emotions.
The circling of my head
indicates the wealth of my history.
The movement of my hips
describes who I am.
The length of my legs
embraces my passion.
The strength of my feet
expresses the power of my core.
The shape of my lips
pulls my heart and make connections.
The flickering of my eyes
alerts me to the cause.
The form of my body
builds strength to be free.

ReplyDeleteKaren you have a way to express yourself that lets the reader into your piece. Great expression with flow and heart.
ReplyDeleteThis is a piece that makes me smile -- I want to say "Yes! You go, woman!" Has a real resonance with Maya Angelou's poem, too.
