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.

I love how instead of just... saying expressions and using the words for just description, you put the essence of emotion behind them and took it along. In the mind of a real dancer. Awesome Write.

A great write. I've only attempted writing a poem where I had to use certain given words once and it was horrible. I don't know it had to be about breakfast and have the word blue and door and run and I can't even remember what else. Anyway, this is a great poem =]

[Lourisa]

I'm definitely not a fan of the show but do very much like your imagery. Well done!

[Aurora Lynn]

Very cool topic choice...I don't watch Dancing With the Stars often, but I might take another look at it after reading this. I thought the second stanza was captivating; I could imagine a couple dancing as I read it. Unfortunately, after reading those awesome lines, the rest of the poem just couldn't measure up...but that's a good problem to have! Also, make sure you use apostrophes where appropriate--there are a few places where they're missing.
