    Yes, true story. I met my husband of 43 happy years on the dance floor. At first only lust and really good sex. It didn't take very long to turn into love. He is the kindest loving person I have ever known and the sex is still good after all these years. LOL

I'm sure many a relationship has started from an itended one night stand that just kept on going LOL

Nicely written in seductive tones with some red hot passion at work on the dance floor.
There is DEFINITELY something very sexy about slow dancing with a man...yes siree LOL
Well written

Cheers P

    Thank you so much for reviewing my poem. This poem was written about the first time I met/danced with my
    husband of 43 years. The remarkable thing is that the passion is still there. :o)

An interesting image. I like the idea of this, but not 'Sun kissed hair and skin'. (Sun-known?) (Sun touched?)
However, I applaud the last stanza:

'Can a one night stand
turn to forever love?
Slow dancing across a hardwood floor'

With best wishes, Writeling

Very nice free verse. I don't think you will have a problem in the contest. It's a "love" poem contest and that encompasses a ton of things. Good luck.

Whew!
<< Fanning myself>>
<< Fainting on the settee>>
Just kidding.
This was very evocative and moving. The meter and rhythm was smooth and flowing, making for an enjoyable read.
Good entry for the contest.
Well done.

As long as you're happy, whose to say! I enjoyed your poem , it's sexual and sensual, and has a happy ending. It tells a story, with the anticipated ending altered by your post poem note. Lucky you

    Thank you for your kind review. I am glad you liked my work. It is a true story of the first time I met/danced with my husband 43 years ago. Yes, I am a very lucky woman. After all these years we still have that same passion only we dance
    a little slower now. :o)

Good luck with your contest entry; it is said "liquor in, common sense flies out the window." Sometimes a dancing partner can be a life-long partner. Mostly, it is a one-night stand. You were meant to meet your soul-mate! There is nothing more romantic than slow dancing on a hardwood floor. Well done poet.

Your words are very descriptive and I can picture the scene in my mind. It is a good love poem - wanting love does count in opinion.

Good luck in the contest.

I particularly like the use of questions to introduce a couple of your stanzas - they are addressed to the 'lover' but also draw the reader into the poem

Your poem captures that familiar scene of the one-night stand, but also hints at the possibility of more to come - confirmed by your notes.

One tiny spag - apostrophe missing in 'passion's'

    Thank you so much for your comments on my work. You know I thought' passion's' should have an apostrophe but my checker didn't catch it. :o) I will go back and correct.

Well one night stands can be soul destroying I once said. Do I still believe that? I think we need to put a little distance between meeting and sleeping together. Preferably when sober. I think alcohol kills off many would be relationships. I particularly feel that women who are " fall down drunk" don't command respect. Wow this little tale of yours has woken up some moral issues I didn't realise were so important to me. Nice piece of work. Your imagery might have been easier to read on a different colour background. PM

    I definitely agree with you today, Possummagic. God protected me during that irresponsible time in my life. This poem
    was written remembering the first time I met my now husband of 43 years. Neither of us drink now. But, we still dance
    across our hard wood floors only slower now. :o)
