The Dancing Joromi



Today I saw an epiphany, Joromi in the shop window
Hanging on a doll, sat on a Victorian rest
Cinderella's shoes and a necklace to match
Joromi looked alive, incandescent bursting with excitement

She moved on pause, pulse, in a beautiful, butterfly print 
She had a heavenly spirit, that drew on my hunger
Today I saw Joromi in the shop window
Next to her, stood such adoring dancing shoes 

So tonight, when the bells go din dong, in moon light show
I will be at the ball room, with Joromi
Ready to dance  my tango and foxtrot
Dance my High-life, to win the heart of my love

Today I saw Joromi in the shop window
Tonight I will become one with Joromi
And dance the night before dawn
Today I will win my lovers heart


And take Joromi home with me 
Today I saw Joromi in the shop window 
Tonight Joromi would share my bed

    Ah . . . that dress will take you on long journeys. It bears the wings of the great migrant butterfly, the Monarch.

    I'd dance with you, Kodjo. You make it sound so enticing with your beautiful envisioned dress.
    Thank you too for the picture of the Joromi as you'd have it and for the description below your poem. All of these are wonderful independently but the whole is sooooooo much the better still.
