Hutinashrow Tango

You dear are my fascination 
Exceeding my expectation
Thrilling me making my heart race
There’s something in the way you move
I love how you sway to my groove
With every step you match my pace
Waltz, rumba, salsa or tango
More delicious than a mango
Sexy wearing leather or lace
My fingers explore every line
More intoxicating than wine
The allure began with the chase

Yes it’s true you played hard to get
Not looking at me when we met
I was enamoured by your style
Your easy understated way
Tapping as the music would play
and a subtle hint of a smile
Eventually you took my hand
Moving to the sound of the band
Breathtaking moments last a while
In my arms you are meant to be
Being with you makes me feel free
floating  above the earth a mile

your movement is a form of art
Everything is more colourful
since you tangoed into my heart

Written May 12th 2018. For Connor Lott’s Hutinashrow poetry contest. Challenging but fun. I hope I got it right.

CayCay Jennings Date: 5/27/2018 11:09:00 AM This is a great read on so many levels, Richard, that it eclipsed the form and appeal leaped off the screen. Sexy, passionate and loving - all the ingredients for me to have an enjoyable, fulfilling poetry swoon. Check 2nd stanza - I think he directed the 1st line be same as in 1st stanza. This is too good to slip thru on a technicality, then again, I am oft wrong and okay with that. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/29/2018 7:38:00 AM Hi CayCay, you are right. I like the poem as it stands so I won’t change it. I’ll be out of luck for the contest but that’s okay. Thanks for the heads up.

Paul Callus Date: 5/15/2018 12:53:00 PM A sensual, sensuous poem, Richard. I can feel the thrill of expectation, anticipation and final conquest. I bet you are a born dancer...so is your pen:) Regards // paul Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/16/2018 9:33:00 AM I do love to dance Paul. Thanks for the visit.

FJ Thomas Date: 5/15/2018 12:28:00 PM You tried the Hutinashro! Awesome Rick! I wasn't brave enough; my brain has been on hiatus lately lol. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/16/2018 9:33:00 AM You are one of the bravest people I know. Hugs and thanks.

Pandita Sietesantos Date: 5/15/2018 9:28:00 AM I think you nailed it, my friend! I couldn't even get started writing something for this contest - too challenging for my pen - LOL! But you knew what you were doing for sure and I love your seductive dance moves! Perhaps, if I do more dancing, it will also help me stay "youthful" :-) Love and hugs. Pandita Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/16/2018 9:37:00 AM Thanks for such a sweet visit.

Charles Messina Date: 5/15/2018 9:18:00 AM I consider myself a pretty good dancer, but I have to admit I have never tangoed before, your beautifully written poem makes me want to give it a try. Well done Rick, best of luck in the contest! Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/16/2018 9:28:00 AM Thanks Charles.

Maria Williams Date: 5/14/2018 6:25:00 AM This sounds like one of those sensual Latino type dances, love those, but I must check this one out.I was only reading the other day that out of all activities that stimulated the brain the most, dance came up highest especially the choreographed ones. And after reading this delightful poem Rick, I think I just might take up dancing. Good luck in the contest....Maria hugs Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/14/2018 8:05:00 AM I was watching the same thing and they also talked about that it kept participants from aging as quickly. Hugs back.:0)
