Panagiota Romios Poet Free verse

Everybody, Let's Dance

Bright Disco multi-colored dance floors
   Flashing a mesh of many bright hues.
   Mini skirts twirled above sexy 
   thighs, like shapely trees, 
   Sprouting out of thigh high boots
   Lovely hair, perfect make up, too.
   Men..so sharp, master dancers!
   Clubs had smoking allowed with their
   Circular rings adding to the ambiance.
   The overwhelming joy of dance!
   Rising to lofty sparkling ceilings,
   Dancing until the break of dawn.
   Ah, 'twas my dream, joy and inspiration
   Music was magically different, then.
   Flirting was the very best.
   A game well played?
   Your reward was the handsomest.
   A lover, perchance a husband?
   Let the music play forever
   in my dancing soul.
   Because when it stops~I will then be old.
   Nights of freedom, much loving,
   ebullient laughter.
   You, me, those Chicago nights, forever after!
   In my soul, forever do live.
   Forever young, gossamer impressions...

Darlene De Beaulieu August 21, 2020 at 10:53 AM Hello Panagiota, oh, it would be good to go dancing once again. But there is nowhere to go to dance to music anymore. Hugs Darlene xxxx-oooo. Darlene De Beaulieu August 22, 2020 at 7:47 AM Hello Panagiota, I do wear jeans most of the time in the summer. I wear summer dresses in the summer. I wear jeans in the winter because they are warm. Hugs Darlene xxx-oooo- Panagiota Romios August 21, 2020 at 11:04 AM Darlene..You got that right! I was traveling down memory lane.people don't dress nicely anymore.in my opinion nobody looked the same then. Everthing in these days is not that pretty. I am no jeans freak))) some should never wear them. Boring to see. My opinion. Pangie xx
