Araceli Abendano

Third Place Winner

 

As High as Colors Go

Soft, upbeat guitar strumming

With a violin as background and
Loud foot tapping.

Hair tied up with sweet green ribbons
A blazing sunrise red silk top
Shoulders covered in lace
And a dazzling yellow scarf wrapped around the back
And resting on the chest.

Skirts lime green the color of life and flows like a waterfall to the end of the ankles
Layered in with pink and purple.

Shoes charcoal and polished
closed toed with an inch of heel
Bright eyes and big smile to the crowd
As the colors twirl, shake and mix
Such a fiesta with these beautiful skilled women.
