I love it the way it is! It made me laugh and was able to hear the songs in my head as I read each title you noted. Well done!! Best of luck in the contest!

I found your Disco Inferno Poem writing prompt entry original, humous and engaging. Art, poetry is a subjective taste. Then again I'm not a true poet. I don't necessarily know what's good, I just know what I like. Best wishes.

Except the part about getting in her pants, which I think is unnecessary, this is wonderful! I am old, and know every one of these songs LOL. This is extremely creative and I really enjoyed reading it. Good job!

    Thank you, I'm sorry if that offended you. Should I put a sex warning on it? Thanks for reading and reviewing my work.
reply by Tina Crute on 15-Oct-2018
    I was a bit offended
    Because it was unexpected,
    so thank you for not
    being mad:)
    I just think it's so light and
    funny and that line
    changes the tone a bit, so for me,
    it broke up the rhythm .
    If you keep it in,
    yes maybe put a warning
    on it? It's really great
    without that phrase honestly
    it's a really funny,
    refreshing poem!
    I'm going to show it
    to my husband tonight
    as he loves loves
    loves music!

    I went in and changed it not a big fix. I?m not a dirty writer I was in a hurry to get done when I wrote it.
reply by Tina Crute on 15-Oct-2018
    I will go back and
    check it out tonight. Like I
    said I want to show my
    husband he will get a real
    kick out of it! If you wrote this
    in a hurry, you must
    love music too.
reply by Tina Crute on 15-Oct-2018
    I showed your poem to
    my hubby. He loved it! I don't
    think this was an easy
    assignment/contest.
reply by the author on 15-Oct-2018
    It one of the easier ones I entered, compare to 75 word flash fiction this was a breeze. I'm glad your hubby liked it.
reply by Tina Crute on 15-Oct-2018
    Flash fiction...yeah sounds
    tough....not for the faint
    of heart!

This is a poem with a really nice flow! It has a story, and nice references. I'm new to poetry myself, so I don't know how to feel exactly about writing every verse separately. (No stanzas, I mean.) Still, It's a good write! Nice job!

You brought back lots of memories of the Disco Era and some of the great songs. Your Speaker is kind of goofy but fun to meet. Very enjoyable.

    I am goofy, but that helps me write. This was fun to write and it's only my third poem. It brought back some memories for me too because that was my era. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my work.

Not all poems have to be metered with strict syllable count, Mystery Author. Your disco contest entry reads smoothly as is--like free verse. I like how you used bold font for the titles of the songs. Good job and best wishes. Jan

    Thanks Jan, it was fun to write. I figured I'd better bold the song titles cuz the young'uns wouldn't have any idea what i was talking about. Thanks for reading it and the great review.

A very well-written spontaneous and creative poem about the disco era that most of us seem to grow up in. It seems to me you have a great time remembering the disco era.
