the
summer
sizzled to your
orgasmic singing
got us all blushing and excited
who could forget those disco nights,
hot stuff was a rash, untempered seduction
it was your throaty, lusty vocals that got us
thinking we want to be bad bad girls
stepping out for some mindless fun
dimming all the throbbing lights
dimming all the throbbing lights
swaying hips to pulsing beat
shaking inhibitions away
hold me closer
let's dance
tonight

Farewell to the Disco Queen: Donna Summer: RIP (1948 - 2012); (I am also sad that Robin Gibbs died.) Here is one of her famous piece, Last Dance.
An interesting article I read about her: Queen of the Disco by Mirth and Motivation

a lovely tribute...and it was a wonderful song for a season...had a few nights of mindless fun myself in my day...smiles.
ReplyDeleteMindless fun for sure ~ Thanks for the visit Brian ~
DeleteOh, yes, I remember those days of wanting to be a 'bad girl.' Was fun to think about; but, if truth be told, in reality I never quite achieved it, except in my mind. But, yes, those disco nights....
ReplyDeleteIt was just fun in those disco nights ~
DeleteThanks for the visit Mary ~
She did get us all hot and bothered with her sexy sighs and songs. Great piece of prose Grace, sexy, and a lovely tribute to Donna Summer.
ReplyDeleteVery sad that she has passed.
She was some singer ~ Thanks for the visit Bren ~

Those nights were always so full of possibility, but as a young man never panned out quite the way I wanted. Dancing at the Colorado Social Club when the drinking age was still 18.........those were the days, and those were some songs.....and that picture up there looks like Gina Gershon from the back...she is one of my all time faves even though I dont think that is her...in my mind it is...lol. Great Stuff, I WILL dsend you the MP3 this evening, sorry I forgot.
ReplyDeleteWonderful memorial poem to Ms. Summer. Those of us who where teens in those days cannot escape the intensity of memory her songs induce.
ReplyDeleteNice the way you worked her songs into the poem so seamlessly. Very sweet tribute.
ReplyDeleteI love that song.
ReplyDeleteThis is spicy, girl! Music is a dangerous drug:
"it was your throaty, lusty vocals that got us
thinking we want to be bad bad girls"
Nice tribute..... :)
ReplyDeletebad bad girls, that's so good.
ReplyDeleteAlluring poem and lovely tribute.
ReplyDeleteI loved her song "On the Radio."
