At dVerse Lillian is hosting Poetics with a tribute to long time member of the bar Bjorn from Sweden and the invitation is to write a poem using a line form Abba’s ‘Dancing Queen.’
I could’t get past dancing or the line “Ooh, see that girl.”
dVerse Poets – Poetics – This One’s For You Bjorn

See That Girl Ooh, see that girl, she's like a candy swirl, strobed ball mirrored in her eyes, flashing amyl smiles for those night-time miles of Donna and Gloria, spine melting moves and chakra grooves sashayed to the spine, it's Friday loose and the beat divine Copyright 2021 ©Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®
A fun verse that aptly captures the disco vibe.
