Clubbing Poems


Nanook Of The North

When not out clubbing
hey-ho the merry oh
at night with the Inuit
I suspect by intuit
an intrepid Inuk named Nanook
a-hunting walrus he would go
with his trusty harpoon
traipsing 'cross the ice and snow
then when paddling afloat he went
in the harsh Arctic environment
to keep out the bitter cold and damp
in the very bottom of his boat
there was a fiery

Premium MemberManhattan madness

TS Eliot said, “Paris is a strong stimulant.”
It is - but it has nothing on Manhattan.
If Paris is a Café Crème espresso at a café-en-terrasse under the stars.
Manhattan is a ‘Black Tie Bawls’ cocktail at The Crown bar (the skyline!).

We were going to relax - in Manhattan,
instead, keep those seat belts fastened.
Lisa said, one night,

Premium Memberpowdered city girls

(inspired by ‘Dusty Rose Dreaming’ by poet vb)

We’re powdered city girls heading into a club,
bright orchids entering the hothouse
spreading fun with noblesse oblige,
qua somethings suited for silver screens.

Our attention’s as uncertain as the stock market.

Experts at mixing trickery and disguise,
we’re but vague summations of nature,
as we sparkling preen, like excited atoms.

Rouged and kohled to unnatural

The night takes you

Louder and louder - becoming inaudible 
Neck 
Neck 
Stick it out long 

Flash Flash 
Images distilled, frozen and framed 
Drinks flying 
Clothes torn and lost 

Crowds getting bigger 
Wanting the floor and this spotlight 
It's shining elsewhere 
Just wait your turn 

Drunk messages 
Small puffs of smoke float in your peripherals  
Hazy and it

Premium MemberFriday Night Lites

It’s Friday night and a group of us, the ‘university summer fellows’ (Quinn, Jammie, Monique, Lisa and I) are going groovin’. Quinn, a Harvard man (we’ve shed our jaundiced opinions of him), assured us he knows the Boston bar scene. We’re going to test that.

We told him we wanted to sway to whimsical beats and

Clubbing

Long time since I have been to a nightclub
they don't let me out at night alone now.
I used to be sharp
had many friends in low places.

I miss the culture, the sweaty maneuvers
under hypnotically pulsing lights.
The aroma of nubile sex
and just maybe getting lucky.

Back then, you did not have to be
a minor local celebrity to get

Premium MemberDublin Night

It’s 1:30am and we were at a cute little dance club in Dublin called “The Sugar Club.” It’s a converted movie theater with tables in stadium seating rows. That night was Salsa themed, and the regulars were stylin’ - the men dressed in white Havana or Colima, Italian Linen and women in bright salsa dresses.

The

Premium MemberDisney Princesses Go Clubbing

Let’s go to the bathroom, I said to the girls. There were six of them actually.
Mulan, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Tiara, and me, Snow White, factually.
None had to go. Belle actually never looked up from the book she was reading.
Sleeping Beauty was popping her eyes at a Prince, who was next to us feeding.

Whistling bluebirds

He Wore Women's Shoes

 
There you are 
strolling about 
a drink in one hand 
and a smoke
in your mouth

A dimly lit club
with familiar people
as you say 
your hello's 
you are greeted
by the female's

Watching you interact
touching the very small
of their backs
tender, gentle, 
a romantic perhaps

My finger now moist 
from the liquid in my glass 
like a potion that I'm

Premium MemberClubbing

When I agreed to tag along with my new buddies and go clubbing,
I had absolutely no idea,
that I'd be flying on a plane with a blunt instrument,
on my way to Antarctica to club baby seals.
Don't worry, It is not going to happen.
I'm just along for the ride to club all my new friends
the first chance

Clubbing It

Clubbing it
Once I went to a night- club in Albufeira a dreadful place with 
garish colours and a man with a Hammond organ also played 
many instruments with a total lack of talent, when he rested
 a jukebox took overplayed so loud the windows shook.
Around the dance floor – arena – skeletal women sat crows

Premium MemberNight Clubbing Huh

Scampi in a basket Plastic palm trees
A 70#s night club in Rotherham
They called Tiffany's.

Ever Friday night me and my mates would hit town
Go on a pub crawl and then later
Boogie on down.

I recall how the girls would dance around their handbags
Like it was some kind of fertility dance
And we were out to pull a bird
For

Clubbing

Were it not for the 
slung high, soul-less
pit of desire
the hope would live

But the ClubTart
always sees a long
emotionless, desperate lust
slipped out in front of her

Never recognizes a love
that knows no bounds
that is never meant for her
always meant by her

Her shining knight
despairs for her passion
but she doesn’t recognize his longing
and only his timeless dream gives hope
