Haiku Heights


power in her hands
rhythm in her small body
truly a great force 



carmen amaya
the great flamenco dancer
sadly died quite young



1913- 1963




just oozing talent
a brilliance personified
spanish dance goddess





Cristina Hoyos



clicking castanets
she dances for him in her
best flamenco dress

he claps his hands hard
dancing for himself in some
very tight trousers
