Fighting For The Championship

For Creative Poetry Group. Had to use the words: affection, flame, soothe, clinch, coliseum, and bounty.

The competition is getting intense
with only four couples left..
its anybody's game...

We must treat each dance
like it's our last...
let our affection for one another
take its course,
while we soothe  the audience with our Waltz,
and let a simple spark..
turn into a flame
in our Salsa,

While trying to clinch our spot
into the season finale,
to get the bounty... that mirrored ball

Performing in the coliseum
was nerve wrecking at first,
but now its like an everyday thing..
I bask in the audiences cheers

Four more couples left...
and I am...
" The Silent Assassin  "

Author's Note

This was for the Creative Poetry Group, and our words this week were: affection, flame, soothe, clinch, coliseum, and bounty.
I wrote this about Dancing With The Stars because that is the best show ever!
I love everybody, but Hines Ward and Kim Johnson have something special and I think they will win... after all he is " The Silent Assassin "
There picture is dancing in Guilty Pleasures week to "End of the Road" by Boys 2 Men. Enjoy.

I try to avoid watching shows like this out of masculine pride and British stoicism one might say.
However, I have been 'forced' to watch in the past by certain lady friends.
You little Fandango captures the essence of the experience, I would say for all participating, until at the end you express it is a certain person/couple and their point of view.
All in all a good write.

Nice mojo!

I don't watch Dancing With The Stars...or dancing with anyone else for that matter. I don't know if it's my lack of interest in aforementioned show has anything to do with it but I didn't really feel the intensity and nail-biting action that this poem seems to want to display

[Joseph Gregory]

Did you win, or at least take 2 or 3.
I hope so. I like the energy.
Powerful poem.
Excellent!

[Fenner]

Very cool and nicely done :) Thank you for the RR

[DearSweetAgony]

Cool,
The fine arts school that I go to makes me use certain kinds of words in my poetry too.
I've never seen dancing with stars,but from what you described it sounds pretty good.

An awsome poem for the show, I also watch the show and love it! Good poem

[JasmineWoods]

This is a really creative and imaginative piece
I enjoyed reading it! "The Silent Assassin" I like that :)
I never watched too much Dancing with the stars but
when I do its very hypnotic for me, watching how these people
can move is amazing
