Many thanks for sharing another image of a flamenco dancing and accompanying your colorful and dramatic 5-7-5 haiku with Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody". I have enjoyed sharing your mostly highs and am delighted to be considered part of your extended family. I very much appreciate your good wishes, and your enthusiasm makes me look forward to the year ahead even more. Endless hugs- Joan

I can definitely relate to the hot Spanish passion. Beautiful music to go with this too. I had to listen to the entire recording. Just marvelous.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Peace and love throughout the new year, MariVal;
-I really love this particular writing and have to admit I kind of in a tossup between a Senryu and a Haiku And this is being that I found the human behavior in this particular poem more definitive in a descriptive and expressive way than it is a natural way and me being a naturalist for haiku I tend to kinda favorite it is a Senryu.
-You really touch the heart of human behavior when it comes to passionate understanding of another And as a personal biography of your own feelings that comes from your heart for your love of others in your consideration for their feelings.
-A fabulous piece of writing and thank you for sharing and take care and do have a good one.
Alex

I really enjoyed this one, Gypsy. I got hung up on fervor river. While I enjoyed the play of words passion and blood flowing. They are both nouns,. Not that it needs to be changed, just something I noticed. Happy New Year!

Take care,
Russell
