Danced my way through the lines. The rhyme giving those sharp deliberate movements every good waltz deserves. Very Nice. Thanks for sharing.

If only we heard the strains whileas your lyrics trip down the page, I daresay we\'d waltz gaily. Fascinating and sweetly rendered with excellent imagery and a delicious poignancy. Thank you for sharing. Thank you as well for the note on it!

lovely done, your poem revolves around summer activities and experiences, such as enjoying fruits, laughter, and leisure time spent with loved ones. It paints a vivid picture of sunny days, playful interactions, and the warmth of human connection.

Full of forgotten images of youth and past days. I was most intrigued with your opening lines
long, top-down drives
even shirtless-tans
sweet strawberry-kisses and
glorious watermelon stains
Here the imagery first line is reinforced in the second, a top down drive (in a convertible) is seen as a top down in shirtless tans. Sweet strawberry kisses is seen in the red watermelon stains of the second line. This is most ingenious and certainly most poetic on another level. My congratulations and a fave

Excellent write that demands multiple reads and is layered in metaphor. I also love how the shape of the poem resembles, at least to me, sheets hung out in the wind. Brilliantly done, my friend! ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

Time and painful facts illustrate repeatedly the work is forever more highly valued than the authors. Man himself is guilty of this in the highest regard, charged with the fault by none other than his maker. However the same proves that the potter is higher than the clay. Gorgeous and beautifully rendered with nigh exquisite imagery, thank you very much for sharing.

Hello,

This poem grasped my attention straight away. For me the language used was so much attuned coming from deep inner sources. It had the ability to become this kind of voyaging energy that you captured so well. Really liked the subtle word phrases. It felt completed. An inspiring read! I will surely be reading more of your work. Greetings and blessings,
R

With each reading the poem becomes less cryptic. Sheets in the wind billowing under sun images of a wash out to dry and what sheets are these? A wan smile not feeling well. Illness? Thundering pain, storm, metaphor, bring in the wash. A receding stain. And stained from what? Moonlight end of day. Polishes past damage seen as utter defeat. Like bringing in still wet wash due to a storm little gained in the wash. Rambling thoughts. Hope all is well with you. Loved the poem
