I'm not a poet, so don't have any critical remarks.
I thoroughly enjoyed you taking me back to those days with so many familiar titles.
Your rhymes were perfect for me.

What a fun poem. I thought I missed the disco era but I recognized all your song references. Great artwork to compliment your work.

Well done.
Blessings

I'm in admiration that you managed to work so many song titles in and keep the rhythm going. It made me smile, and I love the illustration. Great stuff.

Excellent style, I think this way of including the song titles into the poem is very unique. Very well constructed and I wish you well in this contest. Don

In my opinion, well done - I enjoyed the read, and having lived the scene, can easily relate. The rhyming rhythm was casual and unforced, making the read fluid and engaging. It conforms perfectly with the rules of the prompt - best of luck in the contest...

O My God! Does this bring back memories. Polyester leisure suits, open shirts with gold chains and discos we meat markets. Meter and rhyme. You did just fine. I steeped back in time. Well done sublime.

HAHAHAHA!!! Okay, no way this poet is going to fault this thoroughly entertaining poem, and yeah, man, I'm an old hippie, but I also lived through the disco era-- you brought it to LIFE!

Now go win in the booth. :)))

Hi there,

Who cares about rhythm and rhymes when you are talking about the BEST music ever?

Well, maybe not the BEST music, but I do remember all the songs you mention, and dancing to those beats was SO much fun.

Good luck in the contest,

~MP~

Well, I think this is a cool write, myself, author. It throws away any and all restraints of writing a poem. I remember when I was in college, our English/poetry teacher said "If you ever write a rhyming poem for this class, I will give you a failing grade. She explained that her reason being that people writing rhymers are so concentrated on finding the right rhyme, they lose sight of a natural flow in the writing. Amen. I concur.

Bless you. Bob

Good job on this, author. (and I like disco by the way) Bless you, Bob
