Playful Poem: Cute Gypsy Girls

Singing Songs of the Soul whileย Smiling

By SAMURAI SAM AND WILD DRAGONS ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’— Published 2 months ago โ€ข 1 min read

Poem: Mastering Thine Art of Beingย Cute

being ready,ย 

walking to thy circus of compassion

starting to smile, humblyย 

beginning to beg, perfecting artistry,ย 

looking bashfully deep into

thine eyes of thy audience,

thy most,ย 

painful performance,ย 

commencing, loudly and boldly

hurting mine ears,ย 

my heart,

gladly,

sparing my monies to thou,

angelic spirit de amore,

no mas, por favor,

begging please,ย 

no mas,

singing and smiling,ย 

standing so short,

thou child prodigy,ย 

thou tiny golden goddess,

looking into thy spirits,ย 

thou vagabond,

asking for compassion,ย 

singing thou gypsy cherubs

protruding proudly, with thyย 

purity of poverty,

stop, stop,ย 

stop.ย .ย .ย 

.ย .ย .ย 

.ย .

๐Ÿš€Thank you for readingย this!

In Spain,ย 

I often went to the slumsย 

in Madrid where, the tiniest and cutestย 

gypsy girlsโ€Š-โ€Šthe worst singersโ€Š-โ€Šintentionallyย 

screamed terribly because people would tip them withย 

large quantities of love monies donations to stop.ย 

Heavenly, smiling.

    This is a fun read! Interesting that you chose "old English." Somehow, it makes it even more charming. Well done, Sam. ๐Ÿ’œ

  • I don't like children so to hear them sing would make my ears bleed, lol. Loved your poem!

    interesting-I used to walk by singers that I wished wouldn't sing, some though were so talented.

    Good job and children singing is a joyful noise no matter how it sounds.
