Tango Teasing

One swift move tempting
 sunburned curls to find 
     a whole new place
     across her face
           around vanilla shoulders
dress clings to hips
purple arranged on pouting  lips,
     kohl around almond eyes
     calculating, 
     investigating lustful look 
   
                   ~~~~~~~~ 

           twirl,                          swirl,
     oh yes                        girl                  
 High heels tango,    abrazo,
hand on back,          barrida
 full stop...                 freno
   breathless                 hunger
       Tango.                       Castigada

Anne-Marie Coreggia Date: 5/16/2017 6:33:00 AM I loved how your formatted this poem with first a vivid description of that first alluring moment when the dancers find themselves face to face and then their bodies twirling and swirling to the music.

I love the tango and I also adore the paso. Oh the wonder and passion of it all. Well done entirely and completely Darren. Honestly. Have a good afternoon Penguin. -- smile -- Login to Reply Darren White Date: 5/16/2017 6:45:00 AM That passion, just as with the flamenco, is palpable, it's poetry in motion and pure lust :) And I love dancing it and witing it. Thanks Lisa!

I love how you formatted this poem and the message, the melody and the way it moves as I read it. Bravo Login to Reply Darren White Date: 5/16/2017 6:32:00 AM Thanks my friend. I hoped to show in the second part to show the man and woman dancing, but that's quite difficult :)

Jan Allison Date: 5/16/2017 4:37:00 AM Absolutely brilliant ... your words dance off the page Darren love the tantelising imagery in the first part of the poem - I have two left feet and am in awe of those who can dance. I like the clever way you formatted the final part of the poem:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Darren White Date: 5/16/2017 5:07:00 AM Hahaha Jan, sensual, eh?
