Smiling here. I expected you'd be branching off to the changes of a young man's life...and you've opened with a perfect line...

Regardless of gender were we not all puppy dog tails wagging, once? Timidly exploring new emotions, and pondering the sudden shift in perspective we once had of "neighborhood friends" when one particular young man (in my case) or woman (in yours) stood in the new lights of pre-adolescence!

How sweet those days!

I did not have much of a puppy love type teenagers. However, I did have many problems that I had to deal with in my home. I found this poem to be very sweet and cute about how a boy meets a little girl, and they kind of falls in love with her. Patricia

Oh well done, with this insight into a teenage boys' hopes and disappointments, and the first realisation that the path of love is not a smooth and level one. Very nicely written.

Ah so you have started a new season and with a fine choice of artwork, a barn dance.

This is engaging and light-hearted and features some of that puppy love.

Just a small typo in the title:

Seasons of Love and Marraige (Marriage) - I

You are enjoying your NaPo project and so are your readers.

Thank you for sharing.

Gloria

What a great description of the puppy love. I smiled at the washing up in order to impress in case SHE would be close. But then a kiss would keep him from washing his face "for a month"!

    Smiles abound! Kinda of cheeky humor intended.

This is a great beginning for your series. I could just see the angst of the young boy on the cusp of manhood, with the thrills of puppy love and the chills of disappointment.

We must be from the same time. I remember when my favorite time of day was when we pushed back our desks and square danced in class! Can you even believe it? Tis true and how I loved it so. Your brought those memories back from a boy's perspective. Precious poem, and so real to me.

Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for your book of poems.
Sal :))

    Life back then had far less rules, primarily the Ten Commandments covered most of us during those days.

Oh yes. Puppy love was so intense, wasn't it. I can still remember my first teenage kiss and what the boy looked like, but his name has faded into the mists of time, lost forever. I find that sad. kay

    Kay, those early flames of teenage love ignited in our youth remind me of trying to build fire using green twigs, lots of smoke, no fire. 😕

This is a very well written cone by practiced intelligent hand I might like the flow of it and your subject matter definitely interesting as love generally is. What time in our lives then we're young and love comes and goes in all that's many forms. I appreciate your poem and the sentiment it provides and thank you for it. I could find no grammatical issues spelling errors no sentence structure issues at all it is very well right now.
The picture you chose is very interesting as well. I don't think I've seen one like that before. Thank you so much for your submission. I wish you the best of luck and have a great day!
