Phil Capitano Poet Tail-rhyme

Dance With Me

Writing is dancing with words...
     a titillating tango with verbs delicious...
          a sultry waltz with rhythm and meter...
               a hot rumba with randy adjectives...
                    a forbidden dance with unnamed nouns...
                         if this has not left you wanting more
                         then I shall dance with words no more.

Poetry is a pure passion play
     of alliteration and words dancing in line,
           a quick-stepping, twin-tapping salsa,
		a seductive rhapsody in rhyme,
		     moving metaphors, measure and time…
			   my love is wrapped in this poetry
			   so will you please come dance with me?

Mel Gill February 1, 2019 at 7:36 AM A kindred spirit I have found. Love all your poems. Especially like your form in this and Mountains. We address similar issues (e.g. Crematorium), light and darkness. High Regards, Mel Phil Capitano February 1, 2019 at 7:41 AM Thanks Mel, always glad to find a brother from a different mother. Welcome to the soup and I look forward to reading more of your work. Have a great day.

A great rhythm combined with some lovely alliteration, which truly conveys your emotional connection! Truly epic and going onto my faves!! Regards, John.

Beautiful Scars October 16, 2016 at 1:03 PM very romantic Phil...congrats on your placement :)-luloo Phil Capitano October 16, 2016 at 7:57 PM Thanks luloo, this poem has evolved from a two-line ditty to the seven lines that first appeared on this site to the now 14 lines you see here. Writing, if nothing else, is fluid.
