Such a fun story poem! It made me smile thinking of the disco era - it was way too short lived:)

Great rhyme and meter. Best to you in the contest.

Ha , ha, you ironed you hair straight ? Wow, that is crazy in itself, It must have been an unbelievable, unreserved, out of control, fantastic time in to live and party in. Some of the music can still be enjoyed today that is for sure. Good luck with your story in poem friend

Having lived through the Donna Summer period, I could relate to your descriptions of that time period. Lines such as "Partners or not, the floor was free for all" with its double meaning (no cost, and the frenzy of a free-for-all) add to the colorful imagery.

A suggestion -- the poem read smoothly until I reached the line:
"Feeling we were all part of the new jet set"
--consider omitting the 'all' -- it just seems too many words and almost a tongue-twister. again, just a suggestion. Otherwise, the poem has a strong, consistent flow.

Hello Jackarrie, A wonderful story in a poem, and a story that many of us can relate to. I especially liked:

Energetic gyrating, the drowning in sweat
Feeling we were all part of the new jet set
Frenzied moves under the psychedelic ball
Partners or not, the floor was free for all

(And that's the way it was. And ...

"That's the way, aha, aha
I like it, aha, aha ~ KC and the Sunshine Band"
Lol.)

A fun poem. Good rhyming. Great artwork choice. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

LOL. Yes. I do believe you got it even though I refused to be a part of it. After all, Cuntry Girls were not afforded that glamor or any hint of sexuality and lust. Well done!

I love this music! You had me up dancing the moment I read the first line, an energetic colourful disco in the 70's and 80's! Just perfect! Love Dolly x
