Notes About The Poem

An ABC poem with a sensual theme. There are two forms of ABC, but for this contest I am asking for the more difficult of the two, where every word begins with a successive letter of the alphabet.

The Belly Dancer

As beguiling costumes dazzle eyes flashing glitter heightens indulgences. Jasmine kisses lightheadedly make nerves of passion quiver. Rhinestone stars twinkle usurping Venus with xanthic yellow zircons. (ABC Poem)

this one was the front runner from early on in the contest, and continued to be even when nette threw her double one into the mix literally at the last minute! it was a different take and you managed to tell a bit of a story; great word choices, especially the tricky x y z ones - congrats on your 1st place win in my contest!
