Sequins

-You must be a gypsy kidGrandpa shouted from the kitchen bench and
reached for the brandy glass.
Red-eyed and shaky.
-Is this the thanks I get?
In old age.
A fucking circus monkey!

Small as I was,
I did a pirouette,
with my mouth full of sequins.

For the most beautiful thing I knew
were Gypsies.

My heart aches, breaks and

My heart aches, breaks and dances with your poems, Molly. Dance on O Princess, Queen of the Gypsies!! Dance on!! Love, Anna p.s. Sometimes I think I may have been a lucky child. Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.

love this

and can't wait for the next, how you connect elements is so wonderful and unexpected, the hallmark of great poetry I believe, love. Craig from within the rainbow cloud his raw colours were soothed in her dancing.

I shimmed shake of sequenced sequins...

Molly you have set this page alight with a multitude of flair and colour witht the iridescent sequins shinning as they sway in the shimmy of dances ... behind such a veil as well perhaps? I love the way you twist and turn with your words and worlds you create with your magnificent pen and amalgamate seemlessly. Life is like a dance Molly, would you like to join me in a brief waltz before Christmas? Then let us dance to the symphony of gypsy life, twirl in a dazzling splendor of words and warmth as only you can do Molly. Quite literally a breathtaking write Molly. Dale :)
