Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

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.

Elaine George June 4, 2018 at 6:31 AM Wow! I see you have mastered the Tango and the Hutinashrow, Sure to top the winner's list in both contests Richard. Elaine Richard Lamoureux June 4, 2018 at 8:28 AM Thanks, Elaine. If it were the “Two Left Foot Tango” I would be the master *lol*.

Besma Riabi Dziri May 30, 2018 at 7:47 PM A powerful write portraying vividly the dances! Your words are a work of art flowing from a heart of a poet.. A pleasure to read. Stay blessed.

Carole Duet May 29, 2018 at 12:45 AM Oh yeah...I like this one...a lot. I can just see you dancing and uh...connecting. So flirty. Uh huh...a really fun write about a really fun night. I don't know if it's true but I hope so. lol

CayCay Godwin May 27, 2018 at 11:09 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 Richard Lamoureux May 29, 2018 at 7:38 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.

Andrea Dietrich May 17, 2018 at 5:07 PM well, I sure hope you got it right because for me, this looked like a SENSATIONAL write!! Richard Lamoureux May 20, 2018 at 10:12 AM Thanks Andrea.:0)

Eileen Manassian May 16, 2018 at 10:03 AM Flowing so nicely. Didn't know about this form. Love the feelings expressed in those lines.... dancing is so liberating... Hugs Richard Lamoureux May 17, 2018 at 8:35 AM Yes, I love to dance. I’m usually the first up and the last one off the dance floor.

Paul Callus May 15, 2018 at 12:53 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 Richard Lamoureux May 16, 2018 at 9:33 AM I do love to dance Paul. Thanks for the visit.

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

Mystic Rose Rose May 15, 2018 at 11:41 AM Ah, this is very romantic and well written, it flows nicely. I have enjoyed reading your sensual observations. Gl in the contest Richard Lamoureux May 16, 2018 at 9:37 AM Thanks, a bit of luck is a good thing.

Pandita Sietesantos May 15, 2018 at 9:28 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 Richard Lamoureux May 16, 2018 at 9:37 AM Thanks for such a sweet visit.

Charles Messina May 15, 2018 at 9:18 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! Richard Lamoureux May 16, 2018 at 9:28 AM Thanks Charles.

Maria Williams May 14, 2018 at 6:25 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 Richard Lamoureux May 14, 2018 at 8:05 AM I was watching the same thing and they also talked about that it kept participants from aging as quickly. Hugs back.:0)

Alexis Y. May 13, 2018 at 12:57 PM WoW! Richard, This is a beautiful dance! It is a lovely work of art . I found it to be sensual and romantic . It looks like a winner to me. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis Richard Lamoureux May 14, 2018 at 8:03 AM Hi Alexis, maybe you can put in a good word for me with the Judge *lol*. Thanks for the visit and kind comment.
