Victor Buhagiar Poet Pantoum

Sing Along with ABBA

I have a dream, I’m not prepared to give up
I trust that you’ll lay all your love on me
I’m ready to go dance for my Fernando
Swing the tango for that’s the name of the game.

I trust that you’ll lay all your love on me
For darling, I’m your dear Dancing Queen
Swing the tango for that’s the name of the game.
And believe me, the winner takes it all.

For darling, I’m your dear Dancing Queen
We dance and thank you for the music,
And believe me, the winner takes it all.
So tell that Chiquita to stay away from me.

We dance and thank you for the music,
I’m ready to go dance for my Fernando
So tell that Chiquitita to stay away from me.
I have a dream, I’m not prepared to give up.   


Songs from ABBA

I have a dream
Lay all your love on me
Fernando
The Name of the Game
Dancing Queen
The Winner takes it all
Thank you for the music
Chiquita

Sara Kendrick September 17, 2024 at 12:07 AM I really like this one Victor. I remember all these songs and the tunes just pop into my head when I read each little excerpt or title that you used in the poem. Thanks for sharing this one with us. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

Kim Rodrigues September 13, 2024 at 1:33 PM Such a romantic! Love! Who doesn’t love ABBA! I loved watching Mama Mia! I also saw it on a cruise…oh the scene with the friends of the groom…ooh lala fantastic! Blessings, dear heart!

Paige Hind September 11, 2024 at 9:21 AM Very interesting- I enjoyed your patoum, I love these...

Ink Empress September 9, 2024 at 10:19 PM Dear victor! Beautiful pantoum created with song titles! I have also in the past done this, inspired by some of silent ones work. And i must say yours flow very well! I know three of the songs youv mentioned in abba song list as used here! Very well written! “ For darling, I’m your dear Dancing Queen Swing the tango for that’s the name of the game. And believe me, the winner takes it all.” Just beautiful!! Pleasure reading this gem from you! Sending you light always

Valsa George September 9, 2024 at 8:46 PM A beautiful pantoum. Though I don't know much about ABBA, I like the way you have extolled their music and dance. Well done dear Victor.

Joseph May September 9, 2024 at 4:45 PM Nice job with the song titles Victor, They had some great hits

Mystic Rose Rose September 9, 2024 at 11:33 AM I love Abba and all of their songs, and your poetry reflects the beauty in them, thank you for sharing dear Victor :)

Eve Roper September 9, 2024 at 11:30 AM Nicely done. I need to write more Pantoum. Hugs my friend

Joseph P. DiMino September 9, 2024 at 10:15 AM I love Dana Winner, I am a fan. Love what you have done here, Brilliant! Interesting use of the Music titles, and the sense that went into each work. Excellent!

Andrea Dietrich September 9, 2024 at 8:28 AM Very cool, Victor. Using their titles. About adding pictures. I can do it. But there is something weird with the nursery rhyme contests. Other people say it too. It's hard to submit to it and posting one of the judge's picture prompts can cause strange problems

Unseeking Seeker September 9, 2024 at 7:42 AM Interesting and quite imaginative, I must say, an enjoyable read, Victor

Daniel Henry Rodgers September 9, 2024 at 6:04 AM Dear Victor, How I use to love ABBA and still I love their music and it brings so much to life. With that said I loved your poem shining on their works and putting your own thoughts behind each line. Wonderful Read! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Anne-Lise Andresen September 9, 2024 at 5:39 AM - I know the song well, and you have written a wonderful poem Victor ... a joy to read :) - hugs :)

Mike Gentile September 9, 2024 at 4:11 AM I love clever writes like this Victor! i Well done! I wrote one a long time ago using titles of Alfred Hitchcock movies but I never posted it. You've given me the thought of doing so now!! Happy Monday!

Maria Williams September 9, 2024 at 4:03 AM I love the creative style of your poem and the use of titles of the very famed and loved Abba Songs. I loved them all especially Fernando. Thanks for the memories dear Victor...Hugs PS. I sent you a message on Messenger .

David Kavanagh September 9, 2024 at 2:49 AM One of the all time greats ABBA, and second to none, your poem captures some great snippets from their many hits, with no mention of an SOS, nice tribute, cheers David

Arthur Vaso September 9, 2024 at 2:28 AM Abba one of my favorite groups and I loved this poem!

Karen Jones September 9, 2024 at 2:24 AM I love ABBA and what a creative way to artfully present this poem! Great ideas executed with precision! Was this for a contest? Well done Victor!
