She’s got the pace
he’s got the rhythm
a gentle song
a blur of light
and stage embroidered with
thousand dreams
He is cayenne pepper
she is dirty rice
oh always one to skip advice
through sweltering summer
winter rain
passion sweeps world again

Fantastic! I love the flow of this, it is a dance itself. Sweep away, spice of life!
Thank you so much, Eric 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
So well done with verse and meter–and the photo you chose compliments the poem so well. Whew.
Thank you so much, Victoria 😀 so good to see you ❤️
Oh my gosh, this is amazing, Sanaa!
I adore this:
“He is cayenne pepper
she is dirty rice”
Perfect combo … especially if you’re dancing with someone special.
Thank you so much, Estella 🙂 so glad you liked it ❤️
I liked the rhyme sounds in the second stanza. The word “light” in the first stanza made a sonic connection with “rice” and “advice” in the second stanza tying them together for me.
Thank you so much, Frank 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
That’s great, they are polar opposites and blend together in harmony. And so true as well. I think it’s worked out that way for us. I like the phrase, “He is cayenne pepper
she is dirty rice”. Beautiful word picture
Thank you so much, Walter 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️

He is cayenne pepper
she is dirty rice
Thank you so much, Grace 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
The dance is Latin, as is the passion; encountered a lot of sensuality out here on the trail. Pepper as a Muse has a lusty side.

There is so much movement and teasing of the senses in your Quadrille, Sanaa – I think I should have read it last night rather than first thing this morning before marking exam papers again! Pepper is prompting some hot and exciting poetry. I love the lines:
‘He is cayenne pepper
she is dirty rice’.
