A lovely sequence as one dance leads to another. Seduction tastefully described in free verse. Black and white theme observed even in the graphics. Well done. :) nancy

This is such a seductive poem it almost inspired me to dash into the other room, grab my wife and say "how about it?" It's probably just as well that, at age 78, I don't dash around too much anymore. Good luck with the contest....I don't see how this one can miss winning the prize.

I really liked this and it gets my vote. It moves like a tango, stopping an starting with precision and carefully crafted phrasing. I like the line "soft and moist in secret places". It is adult in theme and yet has a childlike playfulness to it. Like I said....my fave.

I really enjoyed this passionate poem and found myself wanting to hear more and more of this lover's dance. I feel like I was in the hallway watching as the door slowly closed and the seduction got too intense for an audience.

The romance of the dance can lead to passion. Music and dance evoke so many strong emotions. I love how you take the reader through the dance - closer and closer - to feel the build-up of the passion. Ok, now I can breathe. Good luck in the contest.

As the song said Life is a dance, so take a chance, sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow, don't worry about what you don't know, for you'll learn as you go... this write has great meter and cadence as you would expect but it done in a way to enhance the effect of your words and you feel breathless as you recite them. Has a real romantic and classic feel about this and you can take each step with your words to happiness... in that heart! Superb :)

Wow! Very passionate love poem. It picks up momentum and steam along the way, pushing to the limit at the end.

A super enjoyable read from start to finish. Love "glide me slide me" and "taut tuxedo".

You have created so many powerful, sensual images for the reader that make this a very passional poem. The flow is excellent as is the accompanying photo.

Excellent Job! Good Luck with the Contest!

Wow, I think this is great! It held my attention from beginning to end. I especially like this line "take me home now taut tuxedo, light my loving, in velvet dark" I'm going to remember that one, great phrasing there..
