A teasing tinkling in her turn
with colorful collected clothes
she weaves a wondrous web
with faultless footsteps, she flows
In her decadently, devilish dance
a calculated, crisp clap
and a soft, seductive smile
she entrances, embraces and entraps
Her tattooed Turkish tambourine
rouses a lover’s romantic rights
in it’s soulful, spirited song
an incredible illusion the gypsy invites

Inspired by pic in contest from spiritualangel. I always seem inspired but never write to be able to enter contest. But that's ok with me. I am inspired none the less.

You have a nice grasp on the use of alliteration to move along a poem without stuffing it and turning it into a tongue twister. I also saw some nicely placed assonance in your lines as well, which is a good addition to keeping the rhythm and the rhyme flowing together.
