Well, what can I say? Nicely done, and in very good taste. A rundown of passion from dance floor to a predictable goal with lovely images in fine poetic tones. Excellent presentation! Enrique

This work has reached the exceptional level

this reads so smoothly and the passion intense enough for it to be tangible. So much skill, I felt a chill through my body as reading. Probably my most favourite poem since arriving on Fanfare. I cannot praise highly enough.

    bless you, Indie! I'm SO very glad you loved this one too - I enjoyed writing it! (If you enjoyed this one, hop into my portfolio and read "It's Time" and also "Midnight in Paris" - they've both got similar themes). Thank you so much for "fanning" me, too - may I return the favor? AND, of course, a HUGE 'thank you' for your wonderful SIX! that went down awfully well with my morning coffee! :)Sharyn

'In Velvet Dark.' This work was very well formulated allowing formal structure and a good rounding of the body to encompass a strong extension to the narrative. Okay I accepted your fire as two syllables. I liked your ocean rhythm, I write poems like this as well. Well done.

    This work was very well formulated allowing formal structure and a good rounding of the body to encompass a strong extension to the narrative - ok - this is the third one of these dear!!! Please, on bended knee, I beg you - write a real, individual review, ok?

    I read every word you wrote and I responded in the fastest way I could. Your writing is good, why do you want me to say otherwise? Just because I use the same terms of reference for convenience sake? I review a lot of work in one day and my time is my own. Next time I'll write you a different review if you like. Kind regards.

This is one of the most seductive poems I've ever read and it literally burns the screen. These lovers, lost in their own world are dancing to their own intimate rhythm. The fluidity of this piece makes it more readable and enjoyable. Great job and good luck!

    thank you so much, Dossie ... I love writing "subtle" ... there's a great deal more power in "quiet" power, yes?

    I agree 100 percent!!!

Hmm. So this is what it's like to pick up a babe at a ball instead of a disco club. LOL You did a wonderful job with the visuals with this one, and I have a better understanding of what women love about these fancy shindigs. :)

The message is clear and understandable. Although this piece does not rhyme, it flows well and the harmony is where it needs to be. My attention is captured and held from beginning to end. Good job.

    oh good! thx RR - yes, it's free verse, so not rhyming - but utilizes "slant rhyme" and assonance, plus rhythm ...

I love the poem. I love the picture. I love hip hugging dancing. It is so romantic. Go with the beat of the music. Just feel. Feel each others closeness. Great work.
