Tangoing Bridges

by Hannah Lizette   Jun 21, 2013


You sauteed raspberry-pomegranate sorbet
'tween honeymoon jargon and
tangoing tongues -
a candied campfire that
amplified with sighs and
swayed with each journey.

Once the sun melted
into our palms and
the sea of flames
waved over forty winks,

I built swinging bridges
over puddles and two-stepped
with Buenos Aires one more night.

    This is such a vivid poem Hannah! It's just bursting with energy and color... your images truly are unique and create a spark, especially with how you word so expressively: "honeymoon jargon and tangoing tongues", "the sea of flames waved over forty winks", and "two-stepped with Buenos Aires"... You definitely bring the tango straight to the reader and don't make it dull at all.

    Such a lively piece!
