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.

You are most welcome, Mystery Writer.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I showed your poem to
my hubby. He loved it! I don't
think this was an easy
assignment/contest.
-
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.
-
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.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
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.
