BANGLES, BAUBLES AND BEADS:


Here she comes, in her bangles, baubles & rattling beads,

A tinkling of tin, rustle of reeds & a dried singing of seeds,

Her jewelry made from everything & all she could find,

Made by her hands, in anything that came to her mind.

 

Shapes moulded & painted, of river mud & fine bone clay,

Threaded by delicate fingers, at night & in very short days,

Earrings, of studs & those that dingled, swayed & dangled,

Necklaces that loop & swing & her arms wrapped & bangled.

 

On her long fingers & bare toes, she wore pretty shiny rings,

Shaking anklets & bracelets, that blings as she happily sings,

Around her burnished bronze hips, chains shimmy & shake,

Leaving a long trail of young men, agog in her passing wake.

 

Pretty little maiden, of bangles, baubles & rattling beads,

Sashaying in your coloured jewels, a merry dance you lead,

Gemstone butterflies in your hair & a smile upon your lips,

Every dashing Don-Juan wants a kiss from you, just a tiny sip.
