Ahhhh, the 70's...

I've seen my share of them in the 80's when they had showers and poles. haha I imagine that beat is still there inside most of the young ladies that entertained me and others. But age does refine certain arts and makes us appreciate them more.

Well done, lisa. :)

Once upon a time I was right there on Sunset Blvd...
Such memories of those days.

[Bud R. Berkich]

A great poem filled with atmosphere and imagery. Especially liked the juxtaposition of the dancer's public vs. private life, which allows the reader to see the dancer as a person, just like those who voyeur her (the reader as well in this sense). NIce piece of writing!

[Lisasview]

I love the extra comment you made regarding my poem...You absolutely got what I was saying and I so appreciate knowing that. This shows me that you actually read my poem and did not just skim it. Did you read Innocence or Nymph? ... I do think you would like those as well.
LIsa, thinking about your comment...

[Relic]

Hmm? I think you can thank Mr. Bud R. Berkich for that last comment. :)

[Lisasview]

This is so so weird...as the comment you and I are referring to came under your name...when I went to say thank you...my thank you went to you??

[Relic]

That is weird. I guess because I'm at the top of the thread. Don't know.

[Lisasview]

I think you must have responded to your comment to me... Instead of doing a comment on his own...read moreI think you must have responded to your comment to me... Instead of doing a comment on his own...
Anyway, thank you for letting me know..because on my end no name other than yours showed up...
I wrote him while reviewing one of his poems.
Thanks again,
Lisa

Ah, this is excellent and so accurate. Joey Heatherton, Nancy Sinatra and the Whiskey A Go Go come to mind. Never made it to that particular club, but I made it to Woodstock.

[Lisasview]

Thank you for saying my poem is excellent...Such a kind review!
I remember dancing at the Whiskey...way back when..I lived in Hollywood

[Perry]

Ha! I thought as much after I saw you mention Sunset Blvd. I said yes, the City of Angles.

[Lisasview]

I wish I had made it to Woodstock...that would have been rather amazing!!
Hollywood really changed (for the worse) over the years...Luckily I was there at a safe and good time.

This one took me back 50 years. I recall well the young ladies who danced in the bars in the 70's. I'd like to say how their dancing and costumes made me think on art and the meaning of life, but that would be something less than accurate. It was their legs, their long, beautiful legs. I'd better stop now. My glasses are fogging up.

[Lisasview]

Your comments made me smile...Yes, long legs and big b***s was really the thing back then..
Lisa, up and doing things since 6am...

[Stuart Munro]

so really enjoyed this poem of yours
I also ran a Seventies Disco Bar in a pub , for many years , but not like a club , but that period comes back strongly

[Lisasview]

Hi Stuart,
I just saw your review from two weeks ago as I was thanking Coyote for his kind review today... I remember reading your review but I guess I forgot to say thank you..
I do appreciate that you take the time to read and review...
Lisa, going for a swim now 6pm in Spain

[SM]

This is beautifully written, the reader grasp the sadness in the dancer's life, although the dancer may be fully content in hers..... just the dancer and her music...

[Lisasview]

Thankyou SM for reading and reviewing my poem. Yes, the sad ~ lonely life of this Go~Go dancer... but in the end is happy with her music and her art... Just remembering her past....
Lisa, now in Spain

[William Michael Reeves]

I like the way you took the reader behind the scenes in the end. Showed what can be regular about people who do irregular things. And it makes sense for women to exploit man's needs, then retire early.

[Lisasview]

Good morning Michael,
I really like your review... And, I am so happy to hear that you felt you were behind the scenes... sort of like the private life of the Go~Go Dancer..
Lisa, working on my computer

[Coyote Poetry]

A Go-Go dancer. I do miss those days dear Lisa.
"Now, time and life have moved out of her way,
replacing every hot-pant’s go·go song
with love of art … piano tunes to play;
still, in her heart, that old beat plays along"
The above lines. I became too and thank you for sharing the entertaining poetry. I did like.
Coyote

[Lisasview]

Good morning Coyote,
Thank you for reading and reviewing another poem of mine!
I really appreciate it and I am delighted to know that you liked it.
Lisa, early here in Spain

[Ruth Martz]

Excellent poem. Those good old days!

[Lisasview]

Thank you Ruth for reading and reviewing my work,

[JC]

Dig the atmosphere created of a smoky loud club and the duality of feelings of a go go dancer. Reminds me of Thailand, the joy and sadness together.

[Lisasview]

Good morning JC, Isn't it wonderful when a simple poem can stir memories of our past.
Thank you for reading and reviewing,

[lightsong]

One of your bests dear Lisa! I love everything about this, as much as it's uplifting, as much as one will think of the hidden sadness of that Dancing Beauty. You with no doubt poured your heart here. You are a Dancing Queen and a Piano Dancer 💓💓💓

[Lisasview]

Wow, three bathing suits in a row!!! Thank you so much... I remember those days...so well.
Lisa
