Totally Optional Prompts says: Write about a foreign country. If you've never been to one, invent one. Actually, even if you have been to one, feel free to invent one.
The prompt opened a new world as I rarely write poetry from this venue...

Harmony in Dark
tropical branches
reach deep in the night
splintering moonlight
into wee silver shards
I tread on earth older
than conquistadores
to a bridge spanning
warm rustling water
from the friendly dark
came a native bard
to share tequila from
a ripened coconut cup
in two tongues we mused
of stars and deathless dreams
in a night moist and warm
a night only meant for love
♥

Did you mean "conquistadores?"
I probably wouldn't know this, but I used to go to a hotel called the El Conquistador all the time.
Either way, excellent poem.
Thanks, Noah. I slipped up!
Exotic - a place usually only visited in dreams.
ah, this place seems very familiar. lots of wonderful phrases here, i especially loved "splintering moonlight" and "two tongues". i see what you mean about those warm tropical nights - they are indeed meant for love.
It certainly sounds like it's worth a visit.
Sounds idyllic!
I like the exotic feel and the sense of place that your words create
