Notes About The Poem

Stones Poems Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dancing To The Stones

I love to dance to the music of The Rolling Stones, 
one of the longest-running rock bands since the sixties.
The band’s music is raw with energetic blend of blues,
rhythm and blues, rock and roll and baroque rock or pop.

Slow dancing to the ballads of Angie and Wild Horses
let me bring out the emotional depth of the melody
and lyrics through emotive flow and applying Tango
improvisation to Paint It Black with its unique sound.

Fusion dancing to Ruby Tuesday, a baroque pop and
You Can’t Always Get What You Want, a rock with slow
ballad like tempo to fast, to create contrasting styles and
freestyle dancing by mixing various genres to Under My Thumb.

Swinging, jiving, rocking, strutting, like Mick’s strut and
shimmying to Tumbling Dice and Honky Tonk Women.
Dave, the pianist and vocalist of a two men band plays
The Stones songs for me and calls me The Stones Girl.

Thank you for your placement and your kind words. I appreciate my placement very much for I didn't even follow your rule to bold and capitalize the songs. I just penned the poem and entered your contest the day before the deadline without paying attention to the rule. Thank you. Yes, I love dancing, Mick's moves and energy and The Stones.
