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.

Thanks, Elaine. If it were the “Two Left Foot Tango” I would be the master *lol*.

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

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.

Yes, I love to dance. I’m usually the first up and the last one off the dance floor.

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

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!

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

I was watching the same thing and they also talked about that it kept participants from aging as quickly. Hugs back.:0)
