Re: Re: Re: TAPS
I was just thinking this morning how we had Square Dance as part of Music Class in 4th grade Catholic grade school (near a large city, not in the countryside)! Had forgotten all about it, and then you mentioned it! No, I, too, would gave passed on it, but that's just me! I'd rather use my energy dancing Tango...if only I could! No, I have never learned that great dance! Now all know! LOL.

Re: Re: RPresta
There was a time he said that he would try Square Dancing (LOL), but we never did take it up. I wish we had, it would have been fun.

Re: Nautikos
And I'm so glad you like it! As I mentioned, a song was playing in my head while I was writing this; just the song for a different poem. LOL. I'm sure you could learn to dance a Tango, after all, you can snap photos and hold your footing on the deck of a fishing vessel during the mother of almost all storms! A dance floor should be a piece of cake!

Re: C_C_T
Thank you! In a way, I wish I could say it had been me, though not at 16! The element of excitement sizzles! I can only imagine (and I guess I did - LOL) a proper lady of the early 20th Century dancing Tango in a seedy club in Buenos Aries!

Re: teddypoet52
Interesting, I hadn't thought of that! But yes, I was thinking of Argentina, turn of last century.

Re: Krisles
So glad you liked it! I did catch a bit of Duvall's dancing in "Assassination Tango," and did know he is a fan of the dance. About the cadence, a song was playing in my head when I wrote this one! Unfortunately for me, that song is one which is the inspiration for an entirely different poem I am composing!

A very emotive work, the lady was quite enchanting. Please say it was you when you were 16. Or what you would have liked to have experienced.

Oh, I really like this one! And yes, this poem pulsates like a Tango - which I cannot dance, but wish I could! (A wish never to be fulfilled, I'm sure, LOL.) And I certain like watching it...

I liked the Tango in the movie "Scent of a Woman". There was a day I might have learned it.... but my lover boy wouldn't dance....wouldn't even try.

This just so absolutely wonderful! I never learned it myself, but I love to watch people Tango. Not is the composition just so incredibly clever, the cadence leads the reader to want to jump up and hit the floor. If you happen to like Robert Duvall, I recently caught a really neat movie of his, "Assassination Tango"...he has been a long-time dancer.
