This was a perfect short flash piece as well as a terrific character study. The hips compared to sand dunes completed a perfect visual. Beautiful imagery throughout. Gretchen

What a fantastic tanka, Gypsy. The dual pictures portrayed a gypsy woman and a gypsy design. Your words were of a delightful adventure of a true gypsy woman- the eyes, the hips and the scents were all of this. Very well done and greatly enjoyed. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

I remember while studying at the University of Salamanca, a group of gypsies came into town. I was completely amazed by them. It was very interesting. Your artwork is beautiful. Again, thank you for sharing with us. We are blessed.

    I didn't know you went to the University of Salamanca. You must be fluent in Spanish. Did you like Spain?

    Thank you very much. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

    I loved Spain. I would like to go back as an adult and see it through adult's eyes rather than a 16-year-old. I was fluent in Spanish, but it seems I'm forgetting it.

Lovely description of a gypsy's life in your tanka. Her eyes are full of sky because she is at home everywhere on this planet and she takes with her the portable music of the guitar.

    Gypsies travel in caravans and music is a big part of their lives.

    Thank you, big sister.

I found it interesting to to read the hips of elusive sand dunes, as always I like the abstractions you gain from words that you write, I like to create abstract meanings, (my wife doesn't) once I would have agreed with her. Beautifully written, blessings Roy
Suggestion : to rhythms of Spanish guitars.
