- The Tango Teacher Poem by Georgios Venetopoulos

- The Tango Teacher



The tango teacher

The Tango teacher danced before
his monolithic size,
a red dressed figure, tripping, thrilled
his attitude and thought,
for none knew better than this femme
to make the apple pies
his appetite so coveted
and blurry thinking sought.

She moved around his bulkiness
with brio and pizzazz
convincing him to dance with her
a tango por amor,
a man of gallantry who learned
its steps in Alcatraz,
began to twirl with elegance
upon the marble floor.

The apple pies were resting on
the kitchen wooden board,
so, every time he started to
express his loving quotes
she stuffed his mouth with tasteful chunks,
he certainly adored,
and both whirled in the air
with donkeys, pigs and goats.

So, dancing carelessly, the man
betrampled on her toes
while she was holding in her teeth
a crimson Spanish rose.

Happy to read your poem. It's an apple pie in itself. Just wondering at the hypocritical remarks of E.K. Louis, the top-notch hotch-potch poet of Poemhunter.

The Spanish Tango is a marvellous form of dancing with romantic music so fine. The imagery of the dance through its elegance, gallantry, with a punch of humour makes this poem an enjoyable read. Thank you for sharing a lovely poem on the Tango. A full score for you!
