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.
Lisa, about to eat grilled salmon for dinner..along with my Gin and Tonic

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,

I remember the 70's so well Lisa. It was an exciting time to be young with the music scene and wonderful, colourful fashion. Yes the go go dancer was often featured on our Top of the Pops and was much enjoyed by the young males of the day. Strange how times have changed. I think of my granddaughter Beth and she at 21 would most definitely not approve of such titillation on display for the male of the species, yet back then it was perfectly acceptable. There is such a contrast here between the lively outgoing young woman performing and the reality of her own life back alone with her cat.
This was a real trip back in time, brought me some happy memories, and penned so well I might add.

[Lisasview]

You are so correct times certainly have changed... I feel blessed to have been around at that time (although not always easy) So glad you enjoyed the contrast.
Thank you,
Lisa, finished with our walk.. made breakfast and now onto a full day..

Enjoy you day Lisa :)

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

I’m a vintage that can recall this time
I loved your poem
I think the 60 s and 70 s the best times

[Lisasview]

I am so delighted that you loved my poem and can relate... Yes, those were special times..."Those were the times my friend ,we thought they'd never end!"
Lisa, just finished working in our veggie garden, the Chard is amazing..

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Oh yes I look bk at those times with fondness
I’m not a gardener I’ll have to look up chard on Google

[Lisasview]

There are all types of chard.. basic green but also rainbow chard... sort of like spinach..but not quite...delicious..
Lisa

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

I like spinach I’ve also had kale in a green smoothies

[Lisasview]

We are super into health...
We have an extractor (not a blender) to make a green drink every morning... Fruits and veggies, chia, ginger, turmeric,etc also goes in...
Been doing this for at least 25 years..
Lisa

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Great stuff

[Lisasview]

Keeping us healthy at our age... we take no medication which is amazing..

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Oh great I should start up again
I used to do daily before work Apple carrot orange lemon kale

[Lisasview]

Does make a huge difference...

I felt that i was transported to the 70s when reading your poem about a unique go-go dancer. Having been born after the 70s passed, I can only imagine what the world and night life could have been like through research, its music, novels and of course ... reading poems like yours!! Thanks for giving a glimpse back in time with this scene of a go - go dancer that i guess... must have been a popular thing at the time. :)

[Lisasview]

Hi Aura,
Such fun to be transported back to the 70's... How I wish we could actually do that.
I am so glad you liked my poem...
Thank you for reviewing... I just posted another new one.. Guardian of Memories..You might like that one.
Lisa, early this morning in Spain

[Aura]

My pleasure, transporting back to the 70s is possible... through poems like this, and novels with descriptive details!

[Lisasview]

Absolutely!!

[Robert Haigh]

I certainly remember the '70s. Much of my favourite music comes from the 60's and 70's. I suppose certain sexist attitudes existed back then, but it was what it was. A good piece of poetic nostalgia!

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much for your review dear Robert... Those were the days...good and bad..
Lisa

[W. Barrett Munn]

Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance
forever and a day

[Lisasview]

Yes, that is exactly what came to mind when I was reading a review from Julie..
Lisa

[Temperance]

I remember those days. Your poem transfers the reader back to the 70’s when go go dancers, hip huggers and hot pants were in style and, the dancers did appear that they didn’t have a care in the world. One could say this is so retro! Life moves on but, as in your poem, we remember those days gone by from long ago. Nicely done Lisa! Temp

[Lisasview]

I grew up in Hollywood, ca. and when I was in my early 20's worked as a waitress and all sorts of places on Sunset Blvd, etc.
Went dancing as many nights as I could...and always wore hot pants...
Glad you enjoyed my poem Temp
Thank you for reading and reviewing,
Lisa, going to sleep now

[Temperance]

You're so welcome! Sleep well!
