Pantoum of the Tango

Image ~ Unsplash

tango is a feeling that must be danced

head to head, chest to chest, eyes closed

every powerful move, bodies in control

take me in your arms, I am yours


head to head, chest to chest, eyes closed

I know you well, I trust you

take me in your arms, I am yours

eroticism and passion overflow


I know you well, I trust you

every powerful move, bodies in control

eroticism and passion overflow

tango is a feeling that must be danced


Today in dVerse Poets Pub Merril presents us with the challenge of writing a Pantoum!

  1. Your pantoum evokes the tango rhythm, Helen, and its passion flows through your words.

  2. Dearest Helen,
    My BEST tango dancers are long time in heaven. One got killed by a postal delivery car when I was 16 and his brother is gone for several decades...
    One day we will dance again!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  3. You said you had trouble with this form, but it flows with the power of dance. The passion flows, too, in the evocation of the tango. Well-done, Helen!

  5. Helen, I like how you started at tango is a feeling that must be danced, which flips tango is a dance that must be felt. Tricky!
