Nicely done, Gloria, and I like that you made all of the three lines rhyme. Of course, you paint a sexy image, not only through your words but through your choice of font, color and picture.

    Hey it's me, Jenny! not gloria in excelsis - you must be going some binge reviewing. Thanks for your comments!

    I'm losing my mind (no great loss). Gloria's submission was right above yours in the list of posts in Messages from people of whom I'm a fan. Yes, I was doing a bit of binge reviewing (an oxymoron if I ever heard one). I guess, when my eyes start to cross, I should stop, huh?

    Considering it's 1:20 a.m, and I'm still typing and, in between, folding laundry, I guess you're right.

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 poetry contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Nice presentation and imagery.

Well done.

Your poem brought a smile to my face, it felt like a vacation in the middle of chaos. Not long, but it sparked memories of a happier time. I need to read them all, but you are the top one so far.

This is an excellent entry for the 5-7-5 poetry contest. I like the rhymes on the end and the rhythm flows well. The picture matches the subject as well. Good luck in the contest.

And the exuberance is well conveyed! Both in words and image, the latter an excellent choice for the former. Best wishes for your entry in the 5-7-5 contest.

This 5-7-5, The Spirit of Tango, has the right set up and examines the romantic and forceful dance which makes the ladies quiver, and the men imagine themselves there.

This pretty much sums up the feeling of the tango. The poem is hot, like the dance. Thank you for sharing this poem. Keep up the good work, and best wishes to you.

Dancing with the Stars in verse - congrats. Your selected artwork is paired nicely with your your limited words and good rhyme scheme. Exuberance is a terrific word choice. 'Sexy stance' is a nice alliteration touch in consort with 'passionate.'

As a big fan of centered text lines, your red text is also a selling point for the FanStory judges. Not quite sure your initial cap is necessary. If so, then maybe a period is needed after your third line. It is your poetic choice at the end.
