this is a very clever poem, Victor. I like the specific references and the first person voice, making it more intimate and personal. As I read, I started to picture a Cuban restaurant in Philly called Havana, though of course the Muranos are not used much there. Well done!

    I think I already want to visit this place. Just to stop. Just to see. Thanks.

The picture you used is gogeous..I like the poem even though it has such a sad feeling to it for me..As I read the words and followed along I pictured a girl alone in a bar and her crossing her legs to pull attention to her that she is alone.. It was easy to see the casablanca fans moving the heavy air around..Thank you for sharing..

'My Little M-----' is an extremely well-written and thought-provoking piece. This talented poet's Friday night hideaway sounds like an intriguing place to visit. It was a pleasure to review a work of this standard.

Good free verse. I had never heard of a Muranos. Don't get around much. Your poem is full of vivid pictures of the night life.Great descriptions evoke a picture of the scene.The referral to the fan,further details the atmosphere. Well written.

    You like to write short stories as poems. Hmmm...I don't think I can do anything else. So I agree. LOL Thank you.

Well expressed 'muranos', Victor.
Your poem is sensual and informative.
In a few lines you've not only enlightened us about muranos, but transfixed them in history, and also elevated them to art and sensuality.
Beautiful imagery and setting, immediately transporting the reader to a romantic atmosphere and a 'cool blue' mood.
The crossing of the legs is echoed by the
legs
just scissorin'
and unscissorin' me;
adding a sense of mental strife with the overly exciting image.
Best wishes,
rawahy

All this poem needed was Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, Victor. Through the smoky atmosphere (strictly in my imagination), I see ladies with long cigarette holders and enticing cleavages (again in my imagination). When ladies cross and uncross their legs my friend, it is an invitation laced with teasing. Another amazing well painted picture for me to colour in even more than you already have. xx Pix (Carol)

    Laced is such an interesting word used in conjunction with legs and eroticism. Thank you for reading this. Now where's my pixie dust?

    The pixie dust is on its way in a little blue pixel envelope. xx
