The Negro Dancer Poem by pedro moshood

The Negro Dancer



With her supple tarn body,
Her tongue locked within lisping lips,
Absorbed in a train of Afro-music
Rendered from Orpheus lyrical prowess
With Apollo's hands upon the tambourine,
Following the intricate spontaneous rhythm,
With athletic step and tigerish move
The afro-Amazon leaped and strut through the brier route,
With diamond tears covered her sun-tarned face
From the reddened eyes like burning sun flame,
And flashing her crystal gnashed teeth.
Despite the milk of honor that oozed
From her painful pierced soles,
She nourished the belief the sun must set,
To give her a full liberation in the evening
When the dusky being that enters the garden
Will address and extricate her
From the shackles of slavery
That turns her glamorous day to grievous night.
Hence, she establish her Negritude..

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
An Afro-american who proceeds, in spite her being held in captivity, to express her hope in her physical disposition in this poem is to encourage the blacks not to give up their dreams in spite of their experience that result from racism.
