I love the romance in this free verse. Summer can be a carefree time of young love, and can also bring back that feeling of nostalgia. There is lovely imagery of the sea that brings the reader to the scene. How sweet that they shared chocolate kisses. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Gungalo

Exceptional

he'll hold out his arm
and she'll offer him
chocolate double-dappled kisses
sweet lips, and
the first sugared stars
showering the dark of
summer's
lambent
loving

Exquisite!! For me to say that it really has to be too. I absolutely love it girl. The language, the air of mystery and the free verse. Wow.

Hi Sharyn,

You have written a lovely poem for the love poem contest. I like your descriptive words that slide the page with ease. You have good alliteration throughout as well as enjambments. Your imagery is so vivid I could almost taste the chocolate. Well done and good luck in the contest....blessings, chey

"summer's lambent loving" Love the word 'lambent. Well said, with the imagery of common events trickling down in an uncommon pain to intimacy on a silvered bench by the sea,. Ice cream becomes the common medium that joins two lovers together, sensuous ice cream. Always did feel like I was 18 all over again when eating the stuff. Well crafted and deserving.

Regards:

S, this is so sweet, as sweet as the chocolate ice cream dripping down the cone. The imagery in your lines takes me where you are and lets me see what you see. Great job, Cindy
