Bell Bottom Boogie

Bell Bottom Boogie

A Poem by Pete
"

We have the St. Vitus' dance, and cannot possibly keep our heads still. - Thoreau

Women's 70's Swirl Bell Bottom Pants | Oriental Trading

polyester
prance and stir
platform shoes
liquid lights
late nights
dancing delicious
disco ball
free for all

cutting a rug
shimmying the floor
can't get enough
more and more
get down
get back up again
magnetic moves
spinning vinyl grooves
strutting that behooves
everything and nothing to prove

it's in the air
with an unbreakable flair
shakin'
unmistaken
sizzlin' bacon
lubricious
flirtatious
bodacious
bootylicious
no hard noogie
it's the
bell
      bottom
                 boogie

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." - Thoreau

This is your signature style. This is how I got to know you as a poet. You've neglected this signature style a bit lately, but here it is again, as pumping & raucous as ever! I love when you let 'er rip with snappy rhymes, playing on word sounds left & right, wild excavations from the bonepile of bad fashion, not to mention your ever-ascending rhythmic catapults into insane descriptions using much-missed old idioms that kick a*s while making us feel ancient yet up-to-date! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Another side to your faceted creativity Pete..I could feel the beats pulsating from the page literally as I read this. I love music and dancing......they go hand in hand. They say ...'dance like no one is watching'......I'm dancing right now to KC & the Sunshine Band... minus the bell bottoms...lol! For me music feeds the soul and the rhythm moves the feet.....I don't think there is a day that passes me by that I don't have a little boogie...........my way of keeping fit. It's just as well no one can see me right now.... :)
