Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Dance! Dance! Dance!

it’s passionate sexual

copulation wearing clothes,

a type of public sensuality

of rich emotional foreplay,

shapely legs flash like

lascivious licking tongues,

as beautiful curves stretch,

writhe bend and arch for our

complicit, explicit voyeurism

befuddling our comprehension,

quickly it is done, both dancers

spent, await an insidious

judgement, their fiery act being

pawed over and analysed,

their superbly erotic intercourse

coldly marked out of ten!

it was undeniably the sensuality of the dancing that provoked this piece and the fact it was performed publicly seemed somehow strange. As for Strictly Uilleam, don't get me started!! a shambles!

Thank you Graham. I comment as someone who spent a couple of years learning Latin and ballroom dancing.

What Strictly is not. A proper dancing competition held according to the strict rules of ballroom dancing.

What Strictly is. A money-making popularity contest (albeit great fun) fuelled by hysteria generated on behalf of the phone companies.

NB. if the Strictly audience had any respect for the art of either the musicians or the dancers, they would shut the hell up with their inane monkey-howling and thoughtless Pavlovian out-of-time clapping throughout each act, which completely ruins the enjoyment of the viewer at home.
Yours Strictly,
A Survivor.

A daring and brutally honest take on it, Graham. Even the judges can't quite contain themselves sometimes!

"shapely legs flash like
lascivious licking tongues,"
Mind-blowing! The last two lines being the crux of the poem are great and as mentioned, COLD!
